This will be fun to do with my partner in crime @mallarchak.bsky.social in Montreal this coming Tuesday. Looking forward to discuss how combining humanizing mice with human relevant @touchscreencog.bsky.social and imaging improves drug discovery translation @westernubrainscan.bsky.social

Healthy Brains, Healthy Lives @hbhlmcgill.bsky.social · Apr 30

🧪 How can early biomarkers help us develop and monitor better treatments for neurodegenerative diseases? Learn how @maximoprado.bsky.social & @mallarchak.bsky.social explore this using mouse models and imaging tools during their talk at #HBHLSymposium2025. 🧠
