CERVO Brain research centre

Présentation originale de l’entreprise

What if we found the cause, not just the symptom?

The CERVO Brain Research Centre is one of Canada’s leading neuroscience and mental health research centres. Since 1987, in Québec City, our teams have been searching for the root causes of brain disorders: chronic pain, depression, Parkinson’s, Alzheimer’s, epilepsy, ALS, schizophrenia and anxiety disorders.

BY THE NUMBERS • More than 90 researchers leading their own teams • More than 500 people: students, postdoctoral fellows, research professionals, technical and administrative staff • A $6.4M expansion underway to accelerate mental health research • Affiliated with Université Laval and the Capitale-Nationale health network

OUR PLATFORMS, OPEN TO COLLABORATION • Advanced optical nanoscopy - a pan-Canadian platform supported by Brain Canada • World's first abberior Centre of Excellence (MINFLUX, INFINITY, STEDYCON) • Canadian Optogenetics & Vectorology Foundry (COVF) • PREDIS - data, artificial intelligence and health • Brain imaging, optogenetics, gene therapy, preclinical models

WHY CERVO We connect membrane biophysics to social intervention, by way of neurophotonics and cognitive psychology. This breadth is rare: it lets us follow a discovery from the ion channel all the way to the patient’s bedside, within a single institution.

YOU ARE • A researcher: our platforms are open for collaboration. • A student: more than 90 teams welcome interns, master's, doctoral and postdoctoral trainees every year. • A partner or funder: let's talk about projects with measurable impact. • Looking for a job: check the Jobs tab on this page.
