Message from the Director

On behalves of the CPIN Board of Directors, the Academic and Executive Committees, and the Graduate Executives Committee, I am pleased to report to you that 2016-2017 was a very fruitful and dynamic year for CPIN, characterized by even more growth in our membership and educational activities. This Annual Report summarizes the major updates of the program during the past academic year. The CPIN memberships increased in this past year to a current record of 423 faculty members and 340 students. CPIN was strongly supported by our 16 academic participating departments from 7 faculties (Faculty of Arts and Science, Faculty of Dentistry, Faculty of Medicine, Faculty of Music, Leslie Dan Faculty of Pharmacy, Dalla Lana School of Public Health and Ontario Institute for Studies in Education of the University of Toronto). We were also grateful for the program sponsorships provided by the Heart & Stroke/Richard Lewar Centre of Excellence in Cardiovascular Research, the Human Biology Program, the Krembil Research Institute and St. Michael's Hospital Neuroscience Research Program. With the continuing support of the CPIN community, our educational program achieved new heights in the past year. 17 internationally renowned neuroscientists delivered the CPIN Distinguished Lecture Series and Sackler Lectureship in 2016-2017, as well as visited local research groups and interacted with graduate and postdoctoral trainees during informal discussion sessions. To provide our trainees with additional learning experiences, talks on the exciting research work of upcoming and more junior researchers were scheduled as part of the CPIN seminar series under the banner of CPIN Emerging Leaders in Neuroscience Lectures. This provided opportunities to attend talks and view the progress of researchers in earlier stages of their careers from outside the UofT community. The first two recipients of the annual Jonathan Dostrovsky Award in Neuroscience (established in 2016) were also celebrated at the 2017 CPIN Research Day. Along with CPIN trainee presentations, the Research Day also featured the Currents Trends in Neurorehabilitation Symposium, comprising of established local and international speakers in the field. The CPIN faculty and trainee members also organized a number of high school outreach programs (including the 2017 Toronto Brain Bee competition and NeuroSci 101 enrichment course in neuroscience), which provided numerous leadership and volunteer opportunities for the CPIN trainees. The CPIN Undergraduate Mentorship Program was also initiated this year to pair undergraduate students applying to graduate school programs with CPIN graduate student mentors in relation to advice and support. On the communications and promotion front, we have shared the research profiles and achievements of 18 CPIN faculty members and 5 CPIN trainees with the community via our website, email lists and newsletter to encourage collaboration and promote excellence. We also promoted numerous seminars, conferences, meetings and workshops related to the neurosciences. On the social media front, CPIN also established its presence on Twitter and Linked In. The continuous development and progress achieved by CPIN in 2016-2017 is directly attributable to the devotion of our faculty and trainee members, as well as the essential support provided by the program contributors and sponsors. We would also like to express our gratitude to the CPIN Board of the Directors, CPIN Academic and Executive Committees, Graduate Student leaders as well as the CPIN administrative team for their strong support in maintaining the high standards of the program. I greatly look forward to working hand in hand with our dedicated community members and friends in the next academic year. Zhong-Ping Feng, M.D., Ph.D. Professor, Department of Physiology Director, Collaborative Program In Neuroscience


About CPIN

The Collaborative Program in Neuroscience (CPIN) is a graduate program offering masters and

doctoral degree specialization through the School of Graduate Studies at the University of

Toronto (Note: this is not a degree in neuroscience but rather a specialization. Students who fulfill

all CPIN requirements receive a notation on their transcript and an official document of program

completion).

CPIN is the largest collaborative neuroscience graduate program in Canada. There are over 400

faculty members and over 300 graduate students and postdoctoral fellows from sixteen academic

departments across seven faculties at the University of Toronto participating in the program. The

CPIN faculty members and trainees are located at the University of Toronto and its affiliated

teaching hospitals/research institutes. Such a large and versatile community provides a strong

basis to cultivate a successful training program supporting excellence, collaboration, innovation,

and translational and trans-disciplinary research activities.

CPIN is funded by sixteen Academic Departments across seven Faculties at the University of

Toronto. The lead faculty of the program is the Faculty of Medicine. CPIN reports to the Vice

Dean Graduate Affairs in the Faculty of Medicine, and is reviewed by the School of Graduate

Studies and the Ontario Council of Graduate Studies. The administration of CPIN is managed

under the Department of Physiology.

The purposes of the Collaborative Program in Neuroscience are to:

1. Foster a proactive collaborative neuroscience graduate/trainee program at the University

of Toronto

2. Recognize and promote excellence, and enhance visibility of the graduate students and

postdoctoral fellows in the neuroscience program at the University of Toronto

3. Create an environment increasing the versatility of the graduate students and

postdoctoral fellows for their career development

4. Enhance the national and international recognition of the University of Toronto

neuroscience educational program

5. Attract excellent graduate students and postdoctoral fellows to the University of Toronto

CPIN Cortex Club http://www.neuroscience.utoronto.ca/events/cortexclub.htm The CPIN Cortex Club is a unique seminar series dealing with cutting-edge topics and significant, challenging issues in neuroscience. It is organized and run by graduate students, and provides an informal and egalitarian environment designed to encourage cross talk and innovation. At each Cortex Club event, the visiting Distinguished Lectureship Series speakers present a mixture of novel, technical, speculative, and possibly even controversial work or ideas. Attendees are encouraged to ask questions, make comments, and discuss with each other during the invited speaker's presentation. The direction of the discussion is allowed to evolve organically, whether that be down towards the nitty-gritty technical details of a new methodology, or up towards lofty ideas about the nature of the brain and the future of neuroscience. In 2016-2017 academic year, 2 Cortex Club sessions were conducted. The topics discussed in these meetings included Analysis of the expression profile and regional distribution of glutamate receptors using histoblots and affinity ligands (Dr. Elek Molnar, University of Bristol, United Kingdom) and Spike-Timing-Dependent Plasticity – The holy grail of learning and memory, or an epiphenomenon? A debate (Dr. Robert Froemke, NYU School of Medicine, New York). In 2016-2017, the CPIN Cortex Club was organized by Charline Sahara Khademullah-Coskun (Cell & Systems Biology; Woodin lab).
