An NSERC CREATE graduate program pairing neurotechnology research with clinical practice across Toronto's hospitals.
Neuromodulation moves faster than any single discipline can follow. GAINN trains graduate students across both sides of it — the devices and the patients they treat — inside the CRANIA NeuroModulation Institute and its partner hospitals.
Engineering, neuroscience and medicine, taught together.
Time inside the hospitals where stimulation is delivered.
Skills to move neurotech from the lab toward the clinic.
[PULL QUOTE FROM THE PROGRAM DIRECTOR — one line.]
