Café Scientifique

The McGill University Health Center teamed up with the Montreal Neurological Institute and the Douglas Mental Health University Institute to present a Café Scientifique on “Drugs: The good, the bad and the useful”.

Audience members were able to discover and interact with three of our brightest researchers:

• Dr. Mark Ware – Associate Medical Director, Pain Clinic, MUHC.
• Dr. Alain Dagher – Researcher and Neurologist, McConnell Brain Imaging Centre, Movement Disorders Clinic, Montreal Neurological Institute.
• Dr. Marco Leyton – Researcher, Departments of Psychiatry and Neurology and Neurosurgery, MUHC.

The discussion was moderated by Dr. Rémi Quirion, Scientific Director of the Douglas Mental Health University Institute and Scientific Director of the Canadian Institutes of Health Research Institute of Neuroscience, Mental Health and Addiction.

The event took place on Tuesday, February 12, 2008 at O Patro Vys, 356 Mont Royal East, starting at 6:00 pm. A short presentation kicked off the evening to highlight the work of the three panelists, who then answered questions and addressed topics of interest during an informal discussion period.
