The McGill Centre for Integrative Neuroscience (MCIN), led by Dr. Alan Evans, is a leading hub for computational brain research, driving innovation at the intersection of neuroscience, data science, and genetics. MCIN leverages advanced mathematical and statistical methodologies to integrate clinical, psychological, neuroimaging, and genomic data, enabling a deeper understanding of brain structure, function, and disease.
These integrative approaches power transformative research in neurology, psychiatry, and developmental neurobiology.
MCIN provides a world-class, collaborative research environment supported by:
- Cutting-edge high-performance computing (HPC) infrastructure, enabling large-scale, data-intensive studies across Canada and a global network of partners in Europe, the United States, Latin America, and Asia
- Advanced research platforms supporting image processing, large-scale databasing, quantitative modeling, and genetics
- Scientific training programs for PhD students and Postdoctoral fellows that equip the next generation of scientists with expertise in integrative neuroscience and neuroinformatics
Through broad interdisciplinary collaboration, the MCIN community tackles some of the most pressing challenges in brain science, including uncovering the genetic architecture of neural development and connectivity in autism, and developing multimodal models of neurodegenerative disease mechanisms.
With a mission to lead globally in the integration of imaging and genetics through information sciences, MCIN is advancing the frontiers of both fundamental neuroscience and precision clinical care.
