CNS Research Bootcamp
On Tuesday, September 15th, the Department of Clinical Neurological Sciences will be hosting a virtual event called The CNS Research Bootcamp. This event is an informative webinar designed to provide learners with an understanding of the basics of research in order to help with a future career in academia.
The event is open to all CNS residents and fellows, as well as external residents within Western University and those who are interested in a career in research. Throughout the morning, learners will get an opportunity to attend speaker sessions and a workshop of their choice.
In the afternoon, there will be a special speed-dating session for residents and fellows of CNS where they will get one-on-one time with prominent researchers of Western University. Please note that there are limited spots for this portion of the event and registration will be a first-come-first-serve basis.

Roche: Doing Now What Patients Need Next
At Roche, we are working on understanding how diseases differ down to the molecular level, so we can develop new tests and medicines that prevent, diagnose and treat these diseases. With our combined strengths in diagnostics and pharmaceuticals, our personalized healthcare strategy aims to fit the right treatment to the right patient.
As the world’s largest biotech company, we develop breakthrough medicines, improving the standard of care across oncology, immunology, infectious diseases, ophthalmology and neuroscience. Our track record has allowed us to build lasting and meaningful partnerships across the world with research academia and public healthcare institutions. Going forward, our ability to capture and understand unprecedented amounts of data from multiple sources will allow for a higher resolution and a more in-depth view of each patient, thus putting the promise of truly personalized healthcare within reach.
With a strong and diverse portfolio covering the most common to the rarest neurological conditions, Roche is approaching neuroscience and rare disease with curiosity, passion and rigour. Our mission is rooted in our formula: follow the science to improve the lives of people.
