Congratulations @_AlexBoshart on receiving the ORT Conference Participation Award! Alex is a PhD student in Dr. Ana Konvalinka's lab at the @TGHRI_UHN. He studies antibody-mediated rejection in kidney transplantation with a focus on endothelial cells and glomerular damage.

🚨Apparently all NIH Study Sections have been suspended indefinitely.

For those who don’t know, this means there won’t be any review of grants submitted to NIH

Depending on how long this goes on for, this could lead to an interruption in billions in research funding.

It was very fulfilling to represent the Konvalinka Lab, @UHNTransplant and @UofTIMS at the annual @cst_transplant meeting in Montreal last week! Thank you to everyone who presented and asked interesting questions at my poster!

[Sajeevan.S @Sajeevan97]

I always get asked what does research look like, cause this position is never a 9-5. Here, I highlight "A week in my life", as a #PhD student at @UofTIMS. It's a combination of research, coursework, teaching, extracurriculars, and personal life.

[University of Toronto @UofT]

#UofT fifth in the world, first among North American public universities: NTU rankings 🌎 https://t.co/tF9JBCJHCs

[Brad Wouters 🇨🇦 @bradwouters]

Toronto is already a powerhouse in life sciences research because of the commitment of UofT, @UHN, @SickKidsNews, @CAMHnews , @Sunnybrook , @UnityHealthTO and other academic medical centres. Canadian government needs to step up its ambition and invest

[Institute of Medical Science @UofTIMS]

We're thrilled to introduce Alex @_AlexBoshart and Sajeevan @Sajeevan97 our new Prospective Student Ambassadors and current PhD students. They're experienced and enthusiastic representatives for prospective IMS gradate students. Find out more here: https://t.co/DO794wqCfp
