Dr. Warren Chan starting off the ROM Dinner presentations with a historical account of the institute's progress and work. #iarc2019 @TheChanLab

[Biomedical Engineering @ University of Toronto @bme_uoft]

The IBBME banquet is happening at the ROM tonight! Come one come all. I guess you can say Jurassic Park is in season this year. Oh "deer" #raptors #iarc2019 @ibbme_iARC

@lcbmann and @SeftonElana closing us out today after a wonderful day of perseverance, innovation and science. Thank you to everyone for attending and engaging! #iarc2019

[IARC 2019 @ibbme_iARC]

For our last talk of the day, we've got Shumith Saha from the @SleepdB_Lab with exciting data on the use of a small wearable device (tracking tracheal sounds and movement) to diagnose sleep apnea. #iarc2019

[IARC 2019 @ibbme_iARC]

Sorry we missed you the first time Dr. Yip! @cyclocrossguy

[IARC 2019 @ibbme_iARC]

Heart tubes start off as broken "fields" before they merge together to form a mature cardiac tube. Wholesome and thorough stories like this only possible with the wonderful developments by Chris McFaul and the @RFG_Lab in lightsheet microscopy. #iarc2019

[IARC 2019 @ibbme_iARC]

Next for student presentations from Dr. Santerre's group, we have Raeesa Matadar on how we can address degeneration of intervertebral discs by studying changes and underlying mechanisms of surrounding ECF. #iarc2019

[mcguiganlab @mcguiganlab]

We are having an amazing time! See if you can spot our students Amir, Nila and Ileana presenting their posters! 👀

[IARC 2019 @ibbme_iARC]

Helena Liu from @BerjRex 's lab asks the question about epilepsy-related deaths and seizure activity observed. Their approach is to model this LFP spike activity by modulating and balancing neuronal types and activity in a brain model. #iarc2019

[IARC 2019 @ibbme_iARC]

Uilki Tufa, the department student seminar award winner, presenting on a biomimetic electrical stimulation paradigm for seizure suppression. Progress in stimulation therapy strategies for epilepsy! #iarc2019

[IARC 2019 @ibbme_iARC]

Thank you to Dr. Melissa Moore for an engaging and thorough talk on careers in #STEM, pathways from academia, and mRNA medicines. Lots of wisdom we're sure our students will hold on to! #iarc2019

[IARC 2019 @ibbme_iARC]

Melissa Moore started us off with an endearing reply by our co-chairs to the question: "What should I talk about?"
Excited to see how Dr. Moore's journey from her PhD in Chemistry in MIT led her to industry! #iarc2019

[IARC 2019 @ibbme_iARC]

What do cars and roadways have to do with mRNA translation? mRNA structures act as necessary "road blocks" so that ribosomes don't "crash" into each other and halt translation. Some cool metaphors from Dr. Moore! #iarc2019

[Wilson Poon @wilsonpoon]

Second keynote of the afternoon for @ibbme_iARC: @moderna_tx chief scientific officer Dr. Melissa Moore (@mooreorless62) talking about mRNA as medicine 👩‍🔬🧬🔬💊 #iarc2019
