Join us for a couple of short presentations on professional development opportunities that could support progress on your career journey:
From Dylan Guan - He’s a member of the VAST network and is also a ISTAART Ambassador. Dylan will be sharing some opportunities in dementia research for Canadian trainees, including insights into the upcoming Alzheimer’s Association International Conference (AAIC) in Toronto, the association’s global network ISTAART (free membership for students), and the ISTAART Ambassador volunteer program (recruiting for 2025-26). It’s a fantastic chance to learn more about how you can enhance your career, connect with global experts, and engage with the vibrant dementia research community.
From Nadia Lachman (Amplitude Ventures) and Eric Desjardins (Pre-Amp) - Both will be sharing information about the Pre-Amp Fellowship. This three-month program connects PhD candidates, postdocs and MDs that are passionate about life sciences with Amplitude Ventures to explore cutting-edge biotech concepts and launch tomorrow’s leading health science companies.
Please contact Liam Harrison (liam.harrison1@ucalgary.ca) if you are interested in watching a recording of either of these presentations.
