Who is Jane Roskams?

Jane Roskams is a neuroscientist at the University of British Columbia, where she is a professor in the Brain Research Centre and directs the laboratory of neural regeneration and brain repair. Roskams previously worked at Johns Hopkins Medical School, where she began research to analyse the mechanisms that drive successful regeneration in the olfactory system and underscore the early loss of brain function in Alzheimer's disease. This led her to her group's current research in examining the interplay between genetics and the environment in shaping how cells in the nervous system develop and adapt, amidst the challenges of a changing world.
