NMD4C Website Updates: Resource & Training Hubs
We’re excited to share some updates to the NMD4C website!
We’ve created two hubs, the Resource Hub and the Training Hub to make it easier for all our members to find e-learning tools, and research resources:
- Training Hub: Our Training Hub brings together our learning platforms in one easy-to-find place. Here, you can access:
- LearNMD: Neuromuscular webinars for clinicians and researchers,
- imPORTND: Neuromuscular patient-oriented research training modules for researchers and patient partners and
- Train(e)d: Outcome measure training modules for clinical evaluators.
- Resource Hub: Our Resource Hub collects a variety of open-access databases for the Canadian NMD research community, including Canadian Biobanks, Fellowship Programs, Clinical Trials, Patient Oriented Research Resources, and Standard Operating Procedures (SOPs).
These resources are here to help advance research, encourage collaboration, and improve care for people living with NMDs across Canada.

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.
Sixth Annual NMD4C and MDC Clinical Fellowship Competition from Opens May 1st
