Graduate Advancement in Neuromodulation & Neurotechnology

The Graduate Advancement in Neuromodulation & Neurotechnology (GAINN) program brings together engineering, neuroscience, and clinical research to prepare trainees to develop and evaluate technologies that interact with the nervous system.

Through interdisciplinary coursework, hands-on research, commercialization and entrepreneurship training, and opportunities for internships or academic exchanges, trainees build skills across the neurotechnology pipeline: from technology design and data analysis to mechanistic research and validation. GAINN aims to prepare collaborative, adaptable researchers and professionals to contribute to the growth of neurotechnology in Canada.
