OHBM 2017 and Brain Research in Vancouver

BY OHBM 2017 LOCAL ORGANIZING COMMITTEE 
By now, you’ve heard that the 2017 OHBM Annual Meeting will be held in picturesque Vancouver, British Columbia (BC). Nestled between mountains and the Pacific Ocean, Vancouver is home to a vibrant and dedicated community of neuroscience researchers and brain health clinicians. Vancouver is a diverse, accessible city (equidistant from Europe and Asia and bordering the United States), offering ample opportunity for networking and interaction with some of North America’s leading neuroscientists. With researchers located across the province, from the University of Victoria (UVic), to Simon Fraser University (SFU), to the Vancouver and Okanagan campuses of the University of British Columbia, neuroscience research in BC is collaborative, well funded, and world-renowned.

Anchoring the neuroscience community in BC is the Djavad Mowafaghian Centre for Brain Health (DMCBH), the premier facility of its kind in western Canada and largest integrated brain centre in the country. DMCBH integrates research and treatment, and embodies the province’s best hope for brain health discovery, with basic, behavioural and clinician scientists all working together under a common theme. A partnership of the University of British Columbia (UBC) and Vancouver Coastal Health (VCH), DMCBH builds upon 20 years of brain research in BC.
Lancet Neurology calls DMCBH “the future of neuroscience,” and celebrated this new era of patient care and scientific discovery in its October 2014 issue. Leveraging the expertise of over 150 faculty members in brain research at UBC, SFU and UVic (including 28 Canada Research Chairs, 6 BC Leadership Chairs, 1 Canada Excellence Research Chair, and 7 donor-funded professorships in neuroscience) and the personalized, high-quality care provided by VCH, DMCBH is a provincial resource for clinical care for over 20,000 patients and their families per year.

We hope you’ll plan to attend the 2017 OHBM Annual Meeting for the valuable educational programs, keynotes and networking opportunities, but there will also be many opportunities to visit fantastic dining establishments, get out into nature for outdoor activities, learn about the history and culture of Canada and enjoy vibrant nightlife and entertainment options. 
OHBM 2017 will be held at the beautiful Vancouver Convention Centre. We look forward to sharing our city (consistently rated as one of the greenest, most livable and most beautiful cities in the world) with OHBM delegates next June. ​
