He did his Bachelor\u2019s of Science at the University of Toronto majoring in Chemistry, with a double minor in Mathematics and Philosophy. His Master\u2019s was in Neuroscience and Physiology in Dr. Elise Stanley\u2019s lab doing electrophysiology of dorsal root ganglia neurons of baby chicks. For his PhD, he moved to Hamilton and went to McMaster for Biomedical Engineering, where he joined Dr. Michael Noseworthy\u2019s lab. There he did research on children with obsessive compulsive disorder using functional MRI and magnetic resonance spectroscopy. After completing his PhD, Alex moved to Whitehorse to work with youth in group homes for the Government of Yukon. After two years, Alex then moved to Vancouver and joined Dr. Alexander Rauscher\u2019s lab at UBC. For four years he used diffusion tensor imaging, myelin water imaging, and susceptibility weighted imaging to investigate white matter health in youth with sports concussions, and the developing brains of newborns.<\/p><p class=\"fndry-paragraph fndry-paragraph--left\">In his spare time, Alex loves to read, run, rock climb, slackline, backcountry snowboard, and ice climb. He would like to one day learn how to sail and paraglide.<\/p><p class=\"fndry-paragraph fndry-paragraph--left\"><strong>Email:<\/strong>\u00a0<a href=\"mailto:aweber@bcchr.ca\">aweber@bcchr.ca<\/a>\u00a0<br><strong>Twitter:<\/strong>\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/AlexMarkWeber\">@AlexMarkWeber<\/a><br><strong>Github:<\/strong>\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/github.com\/weberam2\/\">github.com\/weberam2\/<\/a><br><strong>Profile:<\/strong>\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/www.bcchr.ca\/research\/find-a-researcher\/alexander-weber\/\">bcchr.ca\/aweber<\/a><\/p><\/div>\n<\/div><\/div>\n        <\/div>\n    <\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/section>\n<\/div>\n<h2 class=\"fndry-heading\">Trainees<\/h2><div  class=\"fndry-col fndry-responsive-bg fndry-col--12 fndry-pr--md-0 fndry-pl--md-0\">\n\t<section  class=\"fndry-slideout fndry-grid team-slideout fndry-grid--3 fndry-grid--md-2 fndry-grid--sm-1\" style=\"--slideout-heading-color:var(--fndry-color-secondary);--slideout-excerpt-color:var(--fndry-color-secondary);--slideout-close-button-color:var(--fndry-color-primary);--slideout-toggle-height:1.5em;--slideout-toggle-width:1.5em\" data-fndry-js=\"slideout\">\n\t<div class=\"fndry-slideout-block\" data-fndry-js=\"slideout-block\">\n    <a  data-fndry-js=\"slideout-content\" href=\"#fndry-block-64c8263d12859\" type=\"button\" class=\"fndry-slideout-block__slideout-content\" aria-controls=\"fndry-block-64c8263d12859\">\n        <div\n\t         class=\"fndry-slideout-block__img-container\"        >\n\t\t\t<img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"600\" height=\"600\" src=\"https:\/\/www.bcchr.ca\/weber-lab\/files\/2026\/01\/olivia-campbell-bcchr.jpg\" class=\"fndry-slideout-block__img\" style=\"--slideout-img-zoom:1.25\" \/>        <\/div>\n        <div class=\"fndry-slideout-block__content\">\n            <div  class=\"fndry-slideout-block__heading-wrap\">\n                <div  class=\"fndry-slideout-block__heading-wrap-container fndry-d--flex fndry-flex--row\" style=\"--slideout-heading-gap:5px\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<h3 class=\"fndry-slideout-block__heading fndry-text-h3SectionHeadline26\">Olivia Campbell<\/h3>\t\t\t\t\t                <\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t                        <span class=\"fndry-slideout-toggle\"><\/span>\n\t\t\t\t\t            <\/div>\n            <div  class=\"fndry-slideout-block__excerpt-wrap\">\n\t\t\t\t<p class=\"fndry-slideout-block__excerpt fndry-text-slideoutExcerpt\">Master\u2019s Student in Biomedical Engineering<\/p>            <\/div>\n        <\/div>\n    <\/a>\n    <div id=\"fndry-block-64c8263d12859\"\n         class=\"fndry-slideout-block__slideout-hidden fndry-collapse--hidden\"\n         data-fndry-js=\"slideout-hidden\">\n        <div class=\"fndry-slideout-block__content-hidden\">\n\t\t\t                <button data-fndry-js=\"slideout-close-btn\"\n                        class=\"fndry-slideout-block__close-btn\"\n                        aria-label=\"Close\"\n                        aria-controls=\"fndry-block-64c8263d12859\">\n                <\/button>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<div  class=\"fndry-container fndry-responsive-bg fndry-pt--3 fndry-pb--2 fndry-pr--4 fndry-pl--4 fndry-pr--md-3 fndry-pl--md-3 fndry-pr--sm-2 fndry-pl--sm-2\" style=\"border-radius:5px;--fndry-bg:var(--fndry-color-light)\">\n\t<div class=\"fndry-row fndry-row--gutter fndry-align--start fndry-justify--between\">\n\t<div  class=\"fndry-col fndry-responsive-bg fndry-col--4 fndry-col--md-12 fndry-pr--4 fndry-pr--md-3 fndry-pl--md-3 fndry-pr--sm-1 fndry-pl--sm-1\">\n\t<h3 class=\"fndry-heading fndry-heading--left\" style=\"color:var(--fndry-color-secondary)\">Olivia Campbell<\/h3><p class=\"fndry-paragraph fndry-text-bannerSubheading14\" style=\"--color:var(--fndry-color-secondary)\">She\/Her\/Hers<\/p><p class=\"fndry-paragraph fndry-text-bannerSubheading14\" style=\"--color:var(--fndry-color-secondary)\">Master\u2019s Student in Biomedical Engineering<\/p><div  class=\"fndry-container fndry-responsive-bg border-top fndry-pt--1 fndry-mt--2\">\n\t<ul  class=\"fndry-list fndry-list--custom fndry-d--flex fndry-flex--col\" style=\"--fndry-list-marker-color:var(--fndry-color-primary);--color:var(--fndry-color-secondary)\"><\/ul><\/div>\n<div  class=\"fndry-container fndry-responsive-bg border-top padding-left-3  fndry-pt--1 fndry-pb--1\">\n\t<ul  class=\"fndry-social-list fndry-justify--start fndry-align--center fndry-flex--row\" style=\"--fndry-social-list-size:1.5rem;--fndry-social-list-color:var(--fndry-color-primary)\">\n\t<\/ul><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div  class=\"fndry-col fndry-responsive-bg fndry-col--8 fndry-col--md-12 fndry-pr--3 fndry-pr--md-3 fndry-pl--md-3 fndry-pr--sm-1 fndry-pl--sm-1\">\n\t<p class=\"fndry-paragraph fndry-paragraph--left\">Olivia was born and raised in Toronto, Ontario.
