NMD4C Neuromuscular Talent Pool Launches Today!
Today, 5th May 2026, NMD4C officially launches our Neuromuscular Talent Pool, a new online resource developed to showcase neuromuscular trainees and research professionals across Canada who are seeking their next position or role in basic neuromuscular research.
The Neuromuscular Talent Pool is a searchable database of MSc and PhD students, postdoctoral fellows, technicians, and other research professionals who are actively seeking their next role in neuromuscular research. It is designed to support career transitions at all stages, such as progressing from an MSc to a PhD, from a PhD to a postdoctoral position, or moving between technical or research roles. By centralizing information on candidates’ experience and research interests, the platform increases the visibility of trainees and research professionals and helps laboratories, institutions, and research teams across Canada identify potential candidates more easily.
If you would like to be included in the Neuromuscular Talent Pool, you are invited to register by completing the short registration form below and uploading your CV along with a brief personal statement. The personal statement should outline your experience, your interest in neuromuscular research, and the type of position you are seeking next.

NMD4C Investigators Awarded $5.7 Million as Part of National Team to Advance 3D Models for Brain and Neuromuscular Research
NMD4C investigators are part of a national research team awarded $5.7 million in Canada Foundation for Innovation (CFI) infrastructure funding to support the development of advanced 3D human tissue models for brain and neuromuscular research. The initiative brings together researchers from The Ottawa Hospital, the University of Ottawa, and the University of Toronto, and is co‑led by NMD4C investigator Dr. Michael Rudnicki, alongside Dr. Penney Gilbert and Dr. Mireille Khacho. This shared infrastructure will enable cutting‑edge neuromuscular and neural tissue research, accelerate discovery, and provide hands‑on training opportunities for trainees across Canada.
