Brain health should not enter the conversation only when decline begins.

Dr. Dilpriya K. Mangat, MD, FRCPC, MBA, Founder & CEO of NexCerebrum Brain Health & Memory Wellness, is hosting the Brain Health Summit 2026to bring prevention, healthy aging, and Brain Capital into the same conversation.

Her work focuses on dementia prevention, early diagnosis, women’s brain health, healthy aging, and brain longevity.

The idea behind the Summit is broader:
If brain health affects how we learn, work, adapt, and participate throughout life, where should it sit within conversations about healthcare, innovation, workforce resilience, and economic development?

On November 4, leaders from across healthcare, research, policy, business, and innovation will come together in Calgary to explore that question.

From brain health to Brain Capital, and from individual health to a broader conversation about Alberta’s future

We are happy to welcome Alycia Herlein, CPA as a Panellist at the Brain Health Summit 2026.

Alycia is a Senior Manager with MNP’s Scientific Research & Experimental Development (SR&ED) team in Calgary, where she works with innovative organizations to understand and navigate government incentives that can support eligible research and development activities.

On November 4, 2026, Alycia will join From Brain Capital to Action: Alberta’s Opportunity, bringing the innovation financing and incentives perspective to a discussion focused on turning Brain Capital from an emerging idea into practical action.

For organizations developing new technologies, processes, or approaches, access to funding can influence whether an idea remains a pilot or has the opportunity to progress further. Alycia will help bring clarity to the mechanisms available to Canadian organizations investing in research and development—including how programs such as SR&ED fit into the broader innovation funding landscape.
