Elated to have our Huntington CIHR grant renewed. The lab is back to three CIHR grants and now reinvigorated post pandemic. Congratulations to Karim Ibrahim for making this wonderful day possible for the lab. uOttawa | Faculté de médecine, Faculty of Medicine uOttawaCMM Université d'Ottawa | University of Ottawa uOBMRI
New prof pic and new job - happy to say that Abdelrahman lab opened its door @UBCmedicine and I am thrilled to also join Djavad Mowafaghian Centre for Brain Health as a full member. Stay tuned - few positions are coming soon. Thankful to my mentor stephen ferguson and Ferguson Lab (University of Ottawa) for support uOBMRI
Save the date! We are excited to once again bring together the international GPCR community to share the latest in #GPCR research. Mark your calendars for November 15-17th, to join us at Monash Institute of Pharmaceutical Sciences
#JNeurosci: Karim Ibrahim sala Khaled Abdelrahman & stephen ferguson Ferguson Lab (University of Ottawa) uOBMRI uOttawaCMM showed that a subtype of glutamate transporters, VGLUT3, plays an important role in modulating the development of #HuntingtonsDisease in a mouse model jneurosci.org/lookup/DOI/10.…

Happy to say that the CGRP review Debbie Hay and I did this year was highlighted as a top article in Physiological Reviews !!!! apsoc.informz.net/informzdataser…
Big thank you to the UoA FoS-Research Fellows for the seed money to do this research and allowing me to share it with everyone at the annual symposium! Also thank you to everyone who voted me People's choice!
Honored to be awarded a postdoctoral fellowship from Alzheimer Society of Canada to research astrocytes in Alzheimer’s disease! The ASRP invested $6 million in 44 dementia researchers across Canada this year to combat the disease. Read more at: alzheimer.ca/ASRP2023 Ferguson Lab (University of Ottawa) uOttawaCMM
Come to my poster (DP-020) at #IHC2023! CGRP-responsive receptors in migraine relevant zones, and RNA vs Protein expression 🤜💥🤛. I have nice pictures, love GPCRs, and have many hand gestures. So many thanks to Neurological Foundation of New Zealand for helping me get here!
So happy this paper with the amazing Zoe Tasma, Michael Garelja, Christopher Walker, and Debbie Hay is out. Amylin, CGRP, and the amylin receptor subunit, CTR, are expressed in the C1/2 cervical DRG. Could they potentially contribute to migraine? …alofheadacheandpain.biomedcentral.com/articles/10.11…
Excellent paper by Zoe Tasma studying the pharmacology and expression of PACAP and VIP receptors in the rat spinal cord out in BJP. The study identifies that the PAC1 receptor is likely the major subtype present to mediate PACAP's nociceptive actions. bpspubs.onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/full/10.11…
