Physiological effects like these are at the core of the <strong>黑料不打烊-Douglas-Max Planck Institute of Psychiatry International Collaborative Initiative in Adversity and Mental Health</strong> (AMH Initiative).</p> Thu, 11 Jan 2024 22:24:35 +0000 webfull 196358 at /channels /channels/channels/news/five-new-faculty-join-mcgill-through-hbhl-start-supplements-program-351120 <p>In line with our commitment to advancing brain research excellence at 黑料不打烊, HBHL is happy to introduce five exceptional recruits who have recently joined 黑料不打烊 across three different faculties. These talented individuals have received funding through HBHL's New Recruit Start-Up Supplements program, which provides critical supplementary funding to 黑料不打烊's hiring faculties, empowering them to attract standout faculty members whose research aligns with HBHL's scientific priorities.</p> Wed, 20 Sep 2023 18:50:57 +0000 webfull 192925 at /channels /channels/channels/news/how-turn-specific-genes-and-334623 <p>Type 1 diabetes, rheumatoid arthritis, and cancer are just some of the disorders associated with specific genes not 鈥渢urning on鈥� and 鈥渢urning off鈥� as they should.

Within these microbes, the drugs are made by tiny natural machines 鈥� mega-enzymes known as nonribosomal peptide synthetases (NRPSs). A research team led by 黑料不打烊 University has gained a better understanding of the structures of NRPSs and the processes by which they work.</p> Thu, 30 Apr 2020 14:15:12 +0000 webfull 160486 at /channels /channels/channels/news/promising-advance-depression-research-321494 <p>Depression is a common psychiatric disorder and one of the leading causes of disability worldwide. Antidepressants are the first-line treatment for moderate to severe major depressive episodes. Despite their effectiveness, only 40% of patients respond to the first antidepressant they try. A recent paper in <a href="https://www.nature.com/articles/s41467-020-15423-5">Nature Communication</a>聽strongly suggests that a particular protein, GPR56, is involved in the biology of depression and the effect of antidepressants.</p> Wed, 08 Apr 2020 13:46:01 +0000 webfull 159971 at /channels /channels/channels/news/most-comprehensive-map-cancer-genome-date-319734 <p>An international team, that includes researchers from 黑料不打烊, has completed the most comprehensive study of whole cancer genomes to date, significantly improving our fundamental understanding of cancer and signposting new directions for its diagnosis and treatment.</p> Wed, 05 Feb 2020 19:35:29 +0000 webfull 158055 at /channels /channels/channels/news/medteq-and-hbhl-join-forces-simplify-and-accelerate-commercialization-innovative-medical-290335 <p>The Consortium for Industrial Research and Innovation in Medical Technologies, <a href="http://http://www.medteq.ca/en">MEDTEQ</a>, and the Healthy Brains for Healthy Lives (<a href="/hbhl">HBHL</a>) initiative of 黑料不打烊 University are pleased to announce a joint agreement that will harmonize the process of developing research and innovation projects related to medical technologies.</p> Wed, 03 Oct 2018 19:04:06 +0000 webfull 141657 at /channels
