SPEAKER
MARC ROIG, PH.D.
Associate Professor, School of Physical and Occupational Therapy, McGill University
Regular Researcher, Feil Oberfeld/CRIR–Jewish Rehabilitation Hospital Research Centre, CISSS de Laval
Marc Roig completed a Bachelor’s degree in Sports Science and Physical Therapy and graduate studies in Sports Medicine and Exercise Science and Rehabilitation Sciences. He also has postdoctoral training in neuroscience.
Dr. Roig’s research program aims to understand the mechanisms of brain plasticity that underlie memory formation and learning processes. His studies are designed to gain insight into these mechanisms in both health and disease, targeting not only young, older, and non-disabled individuals, but also people with neurological conditions such as stroke, Parkinson’s and mild cognitive impairment. His research program provides mechanistic information to design novel patient-oriented treatments that he tests directly in randomized clinical trials. Creating a continuum between applied neuroscience, clinical practice, and patient care, this translational approach has the potential to improve the quality of life in people living with cognitive and/or mobility limitations.
