About Leigh Thompson

I am a recent neuroscience graduate with a passion for scientific research and baking. Previously, I have worked on various research projects concerning transgenerational stress, epigenetics, and metastatic cancer at both the Canadian Centre of Behavioural Neuroscience in Lethbridge, AB, and the BC Cancer Agency in Vancouver, BC. After eight months as a DRDC co-op student working on mTBI studies, I am continuing mTBI research with Canada West Biosciences to characterize mTBIs, so we can eventually work towards medical countermeasures for the all too common injury.
