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.”
