Francois Bolduc

Dr. Francois Bolduc serves as Associate Professor in the Department of Pediatrics at the University of Alberta's Faculty of Medicine & Dentistry, with academic responsibilities centered on clinical neuroscience education and research into brain disorders.

His research spans critical domains of neurological and psychiatric conditions through an interdisciplinary lens:

• Neurodevelopmental disorders including autism spectrum disorders
• Psychiatric conditions such as depression, schizophrenia, and obsessive-compulsive disorder
• Neurodegenerative diseases including Alzheimer's disease and multiple sclerosis
• Acute brain injuries from trauma, stroke, and spinal cord damage
• Underlying genetic, cellular, and cognitive mechanisms of neurological pathologies

Dr. Bolduc teaches NEURO 210 (Introduction to Clinical Neuroscience), an interdisciplinary course examining disease features through genetic, cellular and cognitive frameworks. His work emphasizes translational approaches connecting fundamental mechanisms to clinical manifestations across the neurological disorder spectrum.
