McLean, Dalhousie team up on brain research
A Harvard hospital and a Canadian university have formed an alliance focused on brain research, the institutions said today.
The Center for Neuroregeneration Research at McLean Hospital, an affiliate of Harvard Medical School, and the Brain Repair Centre at Dalhousie University in Halifax, Nova Scotia, will join forces on research, education, and clinical care programs.
The partnership will develop clinical services, such as robotic surgery, neural transplantation, and deep-brain stimulation, as well as commercial applications for new technologies, the announcement said. An exchange program for scientists will also be set up between the two centers.
