Ashanté Bon has been an essential part of our lab since July 2024, bringing enthusiasm and dedication as our clinical research coordinator. We’re grateful for her contributions to our ongoing work in brain health and recovery. Here is what Ashanté has to say about her experience:

We just got a CIHR Project Grant to conduct a RCT to study if exercise can prevent cognitive decline and reduce dementia risk early post-stroke. The two postdocs of the memorylab Kevin Moncion, PT PhD and Lynden Rodrigues will lead this ambitious project.

Talk by George F. Wittenberg, MD, PhD : Klotho – a genetic determinant of lifespan – predicts response to rehabilitation after stroke. When: 20 February 2025 12:00 (EST). Feel free to connect by Zoom to attend. us02web.zoom.us/meeting/regist…

Is HIIT more enjoyable and motivating than MICT for individuals Post-Stroke? Check our hot off the press new paper by Lynden Rodrigues at: archives-pmr.org/article/S0003-…

Celebrating our StrokeCog Fellow poster competition winners at the CTTP-CANTRAIN Clinical Trials Training Summit - Rochelle Furtado (1st) and Lynden Rodrigues (3rd)! 🎊

Postdoc Lynden Rodrigues attended the 2025 CANTRAIN Clinical Trials Training Summit in Vancouver as an awardee of StrokeCog Study fellowship. Lynden presented his poster for our upcoming Roger-funded trial, which was awarded 3rd best presentation!

Congrats to Anke Van Roy for obtaining a highly competitive 2 year postdoctoral fellowship by Parkinson Canada. Starting June 1st, Anke will be in the memorylab continuing the CIHR funded RCT led by Jacopo that investigates the effects of exercise on sleep in PD.

This past weekend, Madhura Sachindra Lotlikar presented her research "Nap, Exercise, or Do Nothing: Finding the Best Strategy to Protect Memory After Sleep Loss" at the Canadian Sleep Society National Conference! We’re proud to see Madhura contribute to this vital conversation on sleep.

Participant feedback is so important to us! ✨ See what Anna had to say about our research team and her experience in our study!

Kudos to Kevin Moncion, PT PhD from the memorylab for obtaining a CIHR postdoctoral fellowship to study early multimodal exercise training to promote cognition and cerebrovascular recovery post-stroke. Well done Kevin!
