The Tarek K. Rajji Award in Brain Stimulation Research

Description

The Tarek K. Rajji Award in Brain Stimulation Research will be awarded annually to a trainee at the University of Toronto conducting brain stimulation research related to dementia or a cognitive disorder at a Toronto Dementia Research Alliance (TDRA) site.

His research and clinical psychiatry practice incorporate innovative brain stimulation techniques and technologies. During his tenure, Dr. Rajji's leadership, guidance, and innovative approaches were invaluable in advancing both TDRA and the broader dementia
