Dr. Swayne

Join us in beautiful Victoria, British Columbia, Canada to study synapse stability and astrocyte-synapse crosstalk! #Neuroscience #NeuroJobs #postdoc 🔬🧠🧐 👇

We’re hiring a postdoc! The #SwayneLab (@dr_swayne) is looking for a candidate to investigate cellular mechanisms underlying dendritic spine stability. View the full job posting here: uvic.ca/medsci/assets/… #Neurojobs

I freaking HATE the discourse around “useless degrees” that I’ve been seeing all day. Our society needs historians, philosophers, and English majors. Frankly, their decline is a huge reason our society lacks understanding of pol issues + the ability to scrutinize information

Thoroughly enjoyed my visit to @uOttawaBMRI yesterday to give a talk in the Neuroscience Seminar Series & the many stimulating discussions with the dynamic faculty and students. Huge thank you to my fabulous host @JahaniArezu! 🙏

We are very proud to announce the winner of the 2025 CAN New Investigator Award: Dr. Mark Cembrowski, Associate Professor at the University of British Columbia - Read his profile here: can-acn.org/awards/new-inv… @UBC

I am absolutely thrilled to share my lab's most recent paper, available on bioRxiv! We combined bioprinting, human pluripotent stem cells, and developmental micropatterning approaches to create reproducible 3D neural tube tissues in high throughput. biorxiv.org/content/10.110…

Really enjoyed my visit to the @UTSC Dept of Biology today - fantastic discussions with Faculty and trainees! Thank you to Joanne Nash for the invite! #neuroscience #biology

Good to have you back.

Enjoying the amazing @VicBrainInjury fundraising gala at @UVic tonight - especially the opportunity to pose with different pieces of sporting equipment 😂 - it’s a privilege to serve on the Board of Directors! #vbis #braininjury

We're looking for a PhD student or postdoc to join the Swayne Lab (@dr_swayne) team in Victoria. Focus on astrocytes and synapse stability. Details in the posting below. Please share! 🥼 #neuroscience #cellbiology #neurojobs 🔬 uvic.ca/medsci/assets/…
