PhD candidate at the University of Toronto @UofT, Sunnybrook Research Institue @sunnybrook,studying neuronal differentiation of NETs in Dr @CarolSchuurmans lab.
TODAY | #CanNRTSS24 continues with Dr. Ryan Yuen, Senior Scientist at @SickKidsNews and Associate Professor at the @UofT, followed by Dr. Carol Schuurmans, Senior Scientist at @Sunnybrook Research Institute on #biomedical research.
#Toronto, join me and @CarolSchuurmans lab to celebrate and honour the life of Terry Fox and spread his inspiring legacy by donating and/or participating in the Terry Fox Run. https://t.co/E2fiOakxhA
Throwback to last year’s phenomenal conference at @CSHL on human brain development #organoids#assembloids — a superb gathering for this new field of multi-cellular models of the human nervous system & disease.
Thrilled about organizing another edition with Guo-Li Ming @UPenn_SongMing , in early December 2024, which promises to be even more exciting with an amazing lineup of speakers! 👇

Scientists rigorously looked at the risk of death and cardiac events in more than 2,000 Finnish sauna users over 20 years.
Since nearly everyone in Finland uses saunas at least once a week, that was the control group. The average temperature in the saunas was 174°F.
Scientists created an #Alzheimer's disease (AD)-cerebral #organoid 🧠 model using #iPSCs derived from patients with familial AD forms and explored early events and the progression of AD pathogenesis.

"Albert Einstein called the intuitive or metaphoric mind a sacred gift. He added that the rational mind was a faithful servant. It is paradoxical that in the context of modern life we have begun to worship the servant and defile the divine." — Bob Samples, The Metaphoric Mind
A new cancer treatment based on nanocapsules that deliver a therapeutic enzyme can augment the immune system’s anticancer activity while empowering standard cancer immunotherapies against melanoma and breast cancer in mice. https://t.co/99hGqVTBU8
