Dr. Gabriel Gagnon-Turcotte – Université Laval has been awarded the 2022 Douglas R. Colton Medal for Research Excellence.
For his Master’s degree and PhD, Gagnon-Turcotte focused on the development of intelligent optogenetic microsystems applied to the study of brain diseases. This innovation has made it possible to investigate several hypotheses concerning the development of diseases such as Alzheimer’s and epilepsy and provided researchers with a new way of studying the brain.
