She has been a registered neuropsychologist in Qu\u00e9bec since 2015 and is currently seeking licensure in Ontario.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Over the past ten years, Dr. Tremblay has developed extensive expertise in the use of neuromodulation techniques, including transcranial magnetic stimulation. Her early research focused on the combined use of neuromodulation and neuroimaging as biomarkers of neurological conditions such as sport concussions. She later worked to develop novel neuromodulation paradigms tailored towards the treatment of depression.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Dr. Tremblay\u2019s overarching research objective is to optimize neuromodulation treatments to alleviate symptoms of mental health disorders, and offer alternative treatment options to individuals that do not respond to standard therapies (e.g. medication).<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>She has received many distinguished awards and grants, including the Canadian Institutes for Health Research (CIHR) Vanier Canada Graduate Scholarship; postdoctoral fellowship awards from CIHR and the Fonds de la recherche en sant\u00e9 du Qu\u00e9bec (FRSQ); and the Certificate of Academic Excellence from the Canadian Psychological Association.She is also a recipient of IMHR\u2019s Emerging Research Innovators in Mental Health (eRIMh) incubator program.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Dr. Tremblay is currently establishing a neuromodulation laboratory at the IMHR, where she will work to continue to improve neuromodulation paradigms while simultaneously exploring neurobiological markers for treatment efficacy. Her ultimate goal is to offer shorter, more refined, better tolerated, and more effective neuromodulation treatment protocols for individuals with mental health disorders.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":7463,"template":"","meta":{"_acf_changed":false,"cu_people_first_name":"Sara","cu_people_last_name":"Tremblay","cu_people_initials":"","footnotes":"","_links_to":"","_links_to_target":""},"cu_people_type":[32],"cu_people_expertise":[],"class_list":["post-374","cu_people","type-cu_people","status-publish","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","cu_people_type-adjunct"],"acf":{"cu_people_job_title":"Adjunct Professor","cu_people_degree":"Ph.D. Neuropsychology (Clinical\/Experimental) at the Universit\u00e9 de Montr\u00e9al","cu_building":"","cu_people_office_num":"","cu_people_pronoun":"","cu_people_designation":"","cu_people_email":"Sara.Tremblay@theroyal.ca","cu_people_phone":"","cu_people_phone_ext":"","cu_people_linkedin":"","cu_people_bluesky":"","cu_people_twitter":"","cu_people_instagram":"","cu_people_facebook":"","cu_people_website":"","cu_people_orcid":""},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/carleton.ca\/neuroscience\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/cu_people\/374","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/carleton.ca\/neuroscience\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/cu_people"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/carleton.ca\/neuroscience\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/cu_people"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/carleton.ca\/neuroscience\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"version-history":[{"count":3,"href":"https:\/\/carleton.ca\/neuroscience\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/cu_people\/374\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":7464,"href":"https:\/\/carleton.ca\/neuroscience\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/cu_people\/374\/revisions\/7464"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/carleton.ca\/neuroscience\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/7463"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/carleton.ca\/neuroscience\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=374"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"cu_people_type","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/carleton.ca\/neuroscience\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/cu_people_type?post=374"},{"taxonomy":"cu_people_expertise","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/carleton.ca\/neuroscience\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/cu_people_expertise?post=374"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
