McCabe, Courtney
Courtney McCabe is a doctoral student at the University of British Columbia in Cheryl Wellington’s lab, where her research focuses on the neurological effects of intimate partner violence (IPV) on the brain. Her work sits at a critical intersection of neuroscience, trauma, and women’s health — areas that have historically lacked both attention and […]
Montoya, Juliana
My name is Juliana Montoya and I am a second year PhD student that is passionate about understanding how the brain’s immune cells microglia are invovled in neurodegenerative conditions. Since some of these conditions have higher rates in women (such as Alzheimers disease) it is incredibly important that we focus on why this difference […]
