Since opening, the Sherman Health Sciences Research Center has brought together researchers and students from York\u2019s Centre for Vision Research (CVR) with those in kinesiology and psychology to advance knowledge of the brain and neuroscience.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The Centre is also part of York's sustainability commitment for the Vision: Science to Applications (VISTA) program, a $120-million program supported in part by a $33-million grant from the Canada First Research Excellence Fund (CFREF). VISTA, led by York Research Chair in Visuomotor Neuroscience, Doug Crawford<\/strong>, advances visual science through collaborative research that spans computational and biological perspectives to develop real-world applications.<\/p>\n\n\n\n \u201cAs a leading research and teaching institution, York is committed to driving positive change for the communities we serve. We strive for this is by promoting a collaborative, welcoming and inclusive research and innovation environment that fosters novel and creative ideas to help solve complex societal issues, such as the health and well-being of our communities,\u201d said Amir Asif<\/strong>, 快播视频\u2019s vice-president research and innovation. \u201cThis extension to the Sherman Health Sciences Research Centre offers York an opportunity to expand on health science research areas providing and creating a positive impact on our local and global communities. The new building will house an interdisciplinary team of neuroscience researchers from Faculty of Health as well as the recently approved Centre for Integrative and Applied Neuroscience (CIAN).\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n The new building, funded in part by a Canada Foundation for Innovation (CFI) grant, is designed to be a source of cutting-edge research that will benefit diverse communities, ranging from adults and children with traumatic brain injuries (TMI) and athletes with sport concussions, to precariously housed and homeless individuals with clinical conditions.<\/p>\n\n\n\n The extension project will be constructed with a focus on sustainability, and will feature:<\/p>\n\n\n\n A ground-breaking ceremony was held July 27, with Asif<\/strong>; Philipps<\/strong>; Elder Garry Sault, Mississaugas of the Credit First Nation; Susan Murtha<\/strong>, interim dean of the Faculty of Health; and Vivian Saridakis<\/strong>, Faculty of Science associate professor, and associate dean research and graduate education; and Jeff Schall<\/strong>, inaugural scientific director of the York Visual Neurophysiology Centre, in attendance.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" Construction is underway for a new, two-storey, state-of-the-art Neuroscience Laboratory and Research Building at 快播视频 that will advance research and innovation while providing students with world-class experiential education opportunities.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":5,"featured_media":249018,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_acf_changed":false,"_kad_blocks_custom_css":"","_kad_blocks_head_custom_js":"","_kad_blocks_body_custom_js":"","_kad_blocks_footer_custom_js":"","footnotes":""},"categories":[25,8],"tags":[28,29,6,63,21,12,4],"yfileauthor":[],"qualifier":[],"yfile-author":[],"tags-to-show":[145,147,162,154,146],"workflow":[],"class_list":["post-319417","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-editors-picks","category-features","tag-changemakers","tag-community","tag-faculty","tag-faculty-of-health","tag-research","tag-students","tag-yfile","tags-to-show-community","tags-to-show-faculty","tags-to-show-faculty-of-health","tags-to-show-research","tags-to-show-students"],"acf":{"internal_publish_date":null,"original_image":null},"yoast_head":"\n
