Join us in congratulating Drs. Martin Ingelsson and Ariel Levine on their recent appointments at UHN's ! 👏

Dr. Martin Ingelsson has been appointed as the Piyush Kumar & Usha Agarwal Chair in Neurodegenerative Disease Research, effective from October 1, 2026. His research focuses on the neurotoxic mechanisms that drive Alzheimer's disease and Parkinson's disease and translating this knowledge into novel therapeutic approaches for patients with neurodegenerative disorders.

Dr. Ariel Levine has also been appointed as the Peter Gilgan Chair in Neuroregeneration Research, effective from October 1, 2026. Her expertise is in spinal cord meditation of sensorimotor control and its implications for targeted interventions and motor recovery in patients with spinal cord injury.

Meet Zhenyang Sun, a PhD candidate in Dr. Maurizio De Pitta’s lab at ’s .

🧠 Zhenyang’s research is in the area of computational neuroanatomy, where he employs mathematical models to analyze the relationships between the morphology of brain structures and brain cells and their functions. Specifically, his PhD project is on the morphology of astrocytes, a type of brain cell with newly discovered functions in maintaining brain homeostasis and supporting neuronal signal transmission.

Celebrating our incredible postdoctoral researchers this 💙🙌

As a thank you for their dedication and hard work, postdocs at the Krembil Discovery Tower enjoyed complimentary professional headshots, no-bake energy bites, and a relaxing chair yoga session, courtesy of the Office of Research Trainees.

Kudos to our postdocs for all their contributions to the research community! 🔬🎉

📺✨ Congratulations to Dr. Carmela Tartaglia, Clinician Investigator with the Krembil Brain Institute at UHN, on her recent interview with CTV’s ‘Your Morning’!

During the interview, Dr. Tartaglia discussed how (repeated) head injuries and concussions, particularly in high-contact sports such as hockey, may contribute to neurodegeneration later in life.

In honour of on February 28, we recognize the millions of people worldwide who live with rare conditions and the important role that research plays in improving diagnosis, treatment, and care.

Rare diseases are often difficult to detect and manage, and many lack established treatment options. Advancing understanding through research is essential for improving outcomes.

At UHN, researchers across our institutes are generating new insights that could shape the future of rare disease care.

Explore some of our latest rare disease research below:

▶️ Researchers at UHN’s Princess Margaret Cancer Centre are studying an innovative immunotherapy treatment that may improve outcomes for patients with soft tissue .

▶️ Scientists at UHN’s Krembil Brain Institute have identified a genetic mutation linked to a rare debilitating neurological disorder—hypomyelinating leukodystrophy-15 (HLD15).
