TRANSCENDENT: 2025 Year in Review ✨ What a year it’s been! Thanks to our incredible participants, researchers, clinicians, staff, and community partners. 2025 was a year of growth, discovery, and impact.

Congratulations to Dr. Roger Zemek on being named Outstanding Researcher at the CHEO Research Institute's 2025 Awards of Excellence🏆This award recognizes exceptional achievements in research showing excellence in funding, publications, strong reputation & impactful discoveries🏅

On Nov 8, Dr. Roger Zemek presented at the #AmazingBrainScienceTalks in Montreal. Dr. Zemek broke down concussion myths & shared evidence-based strategies shaping the future of recovery. The event featured powerful insights across brain & heart health. 🎥 Recordings coming soon!

The TRANSCENDENT team reunited at the Cross-IDP Conference last week in Toronto! We learned from other IDPs about the power of clinical trials, team science & the importance of community engagement. Thank you to the Ontario Brain Institute for fostering a space of collaboration & learning🧠🔬🧬👏

New Publication Alert from our team! In 2023, the ACRM updated how concussions (also called mild traumatic brain injuries) are diagnosed. These new criteria look at how the injury happened, what signs and symptoms are present, and the results of medical tests.

I was very pleased to see at least 2 Yukoners in attendance 🙂

Interested in our sub-studies? Next up, we are looking 👀 into vision and pupillometry tests. These are quick, non-invasive tests that measures how your eyes move and how your pupils respond to light, which can help detect brain changes after a concussion. 👁️

Thank you for attending and sharing @braininjuryyukon.bsky.social 👋🎉
