Dr. Hector Caruncho studies the molecular biology and pharmacology of GABAA receptors; animal models of neuromotor disorders; and, lately, to the neurobiology of schizophrenia and depression.

Dr. Nahirney's lab is working to provide a structural and molecular framework to a number of human diseases including Alzheimer's disease, stress-induced memory loss, Nemaline myopathy, and Duchenne muscular dystrophy.

Dr. Tremblay's research team investigates the outcomes of various environmental risk factors for disease (e.g. chronic stress, bacterial/viral infection, dietary imbalance, sleep impairment, aging) on microglia, the immune cells of the brain. This research uses cutting-edge approaches (e.g. genetic mouse models, human samples, pharmacological treatments, behavioural testing, correlative imaging, high-throughput molecular analyses) to develop innovative therapies normalizing microglial functions upon exposure to various environmental risk factors for disease throughout life.
