To all McIntyre Medical Sciences Building occupants,
Published on: 16 Jul 2018
Following the weekend fire at the McIntyre Medical Building, McIntyre will remain closed until further notice. We are working around the clock to verify the integrity of the structure, replace damaged fire systems, and complete other crucial assessments and remediations. We may be able to re-open some unaffected portions of the building in the coming days. Other areas may remain off-limits longer.
In the meantime:

New study underlines importance of early screening and antiretroviral therapy
While the human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) has largely dropped from news headlines since the 1990s, at the end of 2016 there were 36.7 million people living with the infection, and of those only 53 per cent had access to treatment. A new study underscores the neurological consequences of exposure to HIV without antiretroviral therapy.

Canadian Open Neuroscience Platform will make disseminating and publishing data easier
Modern neuroscience research can produce massive amounts of data, which researchers can use to find patterns revealing anything from the first physiological signs of Alzheimer鈥檚 disease to a new drug target that could stop neurodegeneration. However, this data must be stored, processed, and distributed effectively.
