IMS SCIENTIFIC DAY HIGHLIGHT From the winners “Sharing new ideas and scientific discourse is at the heart of IMS Scientific Day, and is a testament to the department’s continued success at attracting first-class investigators and trainees, who are working to transform the future of healthcare.” “I am so grateful to the IMS for almost every academic opportunity I have received in the last two years. As a graduate student here, I have been granted access to mentors, publications, and scholarships.” “It was an honour to be afforded the opportunity to present my research at IMS Scientific Day - an event which showcases the amazing breadth of biomedical and clinical science research across the department. All of the speakers highlighted their cuttingedge research, while emphasizing the translational potential of their work.” “My time spent with the IMS so far has been challenging yet very enjoyable. I am always amazed at the high quality of research being done around me.” “I feel lucky to be a part of the IMS, which really fosters a wide range of research. IMS Scientific Day really reflected this, [and] I was able to meet fellow students and see their work in topics completely different from my own.” “It has been very enlightening for me to interact with so many fellow students who are doing work in many diverse areas of biomedical research. The interdisciplinary nature of these interactions, as well as of the seminar series and courses offered through the IMS, has helped me to think beyond the narrow questions around which my research is focused.” “Thank you IMS administration, faculty, and students.” IMS MAGAZINE SUMMER 2012 GENOMIC MEDICINE | 12
