Repairing the Mind: The Future of Brain Injury Research and Recovery

Apr 20 2026, 6:00pm – 9:00am
In-person at UBC Robson Square Theatre, 800 Robson Street, Vancouver

Repairing the Mind brings together leading University of British Columbia (UBC) researchers who are transforming how we detect, understand and treat brain injuries and disorders. From simple blood tests that catch concussion and dementia earlier, to personalized treatments for spinal cord injuries, to new technologies that help patients communicate even when they appear unresponsive — this event will highlight how research is creating real possibilities for recovery. These breakthroughs are already reshaping how we support brain health through faster answers, more precise care, and renewed hope for patients and families.

UBC Connects at Robson Square, in partnership with the Djavad Mowafaghian Centre for Brain Health, presents leading UBC scholars Dr. Cheryl Wellington, Dr. Wolfram Tetzlaff and Dr. Stefanie Blain-Moraes in a conversation about the future of brain injury research and recovery.
