CAN-ACN Travel Grant

$1,000 grant for neuroscience researchers to attend CAN-ACN 2025 in Toronto, Canada.

And the 2025 CAN-ACN Travel Grant Recipients are...

 

Lewis Rhys Depaauw-Holt

University of Montreal, Canada

Abstract Title: A divergent astrocytic response to early-life stress alters activity patterns via purinergic signaling in male mice and lactate availability in female mice.

"I am delighted to accept the Proteintech CAN-ACN 2025 travel award. This award will play a big role in attending the upcoming 18th Canadian Association for Neuroscience conference in Toronto. I am very excited to present my doctoral work and get feedback from our wonderful neuroscience community in Canada."

Abstract Title: A cutting-edge mitochondrial purification approach to investigate cell-autonomous and non-cell-autonomous mechanisms of mitochondrial axon support.

"I am deeply grateful and honored to have received Proteintech's CAN-ACN Travel Grant. Attending this internationally recognized conference will allow me the valuable opportunity both to present my recent work on a novel, cell-type-specific mitochondrial purification strategy and to learn from some of the brightest minds in neuroscience. I look forward to sharing the promise this technique holds for neurodegenerative research, engaging with new discoveries in the field, and returning with insights that will inform and inspire my own work. Such an enriching experience would not be possible without this grant's generous support of my travel expenses."
