The Canadian Association for Neuroscience (CAN) is the largest association of neuroscientists in Canada. Its members are dedicated to the advancement of brain research. Their association is composed of over a thousand researchers working in academic institutions across the country. They share a common goal of ensuring that neuroscience remains one of Canada's greatest strengths in research and innovation. The association awarded QPRN member Arkady Khoutorsky the 2023 New Investigator Award for scientific excellence.
Dr. Arkady Khoutorsky, Associate Professor in the Department of Anesthesia and Faculty of Dental Medicine and Oral Health Sciences at McGill University and QPRN member, wins the 2023 Canadian Association of Neurosciences New Investigator Award. One of Dr. Khoutorsky’s greatest impact to date has been the introduction of novel molecular concepts to the understanding of pain regulation and the initiation of pathological pain. He has also made several discoveries relating to regulation of protein synthesis in neurological disorders.
His publication record is impressive as well as his funding success is at the national and international levels are impressive. In addition to research excellence, he has taken on leadership roles at McGill including chairing the events committee of the Alan Edwards Centre for Research on Pain, one of the country’s leading pain centres. He has supervised eight graduate students, three postdoctoral fellows, three research associates and more than 18 undergraduate research projects.
Dr. Khoutorsky is an outstanding young scientist who has made several ground-breaking discoveries across various areas of neuroscience and has already achieved national and international visibility at an early stage of his career. Congratulations!
