CanNRT fosters interdisciplinary thinking and data-driven discovery to shape the future of neurodevelopmental research.
“There’s nothing like it anywhere in the world.” Dr. Stephen Scherer, CanNRT Steering Committee member (ex-officio), reflects on what makes the CanNRT Platform so unique. In this short video, he shares how early discoveries in his lab—such as identifying genetic variations linked to autism—were made possible by asking the right questions of large datasets. That kind of thinking, he notes, often emerges through collaboration across disciplines.
By preparing the next generation to work in teams, connect across fields, and see patterns in complex data, CanNRT is setting the stage for the next wave of breakthroughs.
