I obtained my BSc in Biotechnology from Trinity Western University and spent the following 5 years working with stem cells in industry before starting the MSc program at Memorial University. I enjoy using human pluripotent stem cells to examine how cells communicate with one another as they become various tissues.  

I obtained my B.Sc. at Tehran University of Medical Sciences with research experience in different labs, including immunology and clinical biochemistry. Then, I moved to Canada to do my M.Sc. in protein biochemistry at Memorial University. I am interested in proteomics and genomics research in cardiovascular diseases and cancer. 

I am from Nanjing, a pretty city in China. I have studied in Canada since high school. I graduated from University of Toronto where I double majored in Cell & Molecular Biology, and Fundamental Genetics & its Application. During my undergraduate study, I developed my interest in stem cell research. In the Esseltine laboratory, my project is gap junction based stem cell communication which is a continuation of my journey in the field of stem cell studies.

I grew up in a small city in Palestine called Bethlehem. Then I moved to beautiful Newfoundland to do my BSc in biology with a concentration in health professions and a minor in Biochemistry. Now I am studying at the Esseltine laboratory where I am researching about IPSC-cardiomyocytes and their relation to heredity Heart disease in Newfoundland.

I was born in Brazil but grew up in China before moving to Newfoundland to start my BSc in Biology at Memorial University. I started in the lab through a shadowing opportunity and was fascinated with the work being done, now I am currently completing my SURA program where I am researching about the TMEM43 protein which plays a great factor in a hereditary heart disease in Newfoundland.

I am originally from Deer Lake, a town in western Newfoundland. I moved to St. John's to complete my Bachelor of Science (Honours) degree in biochemistry at Memorial University. I then enrolled as a graduate student at Memorial to continue my training in the Esseltine Laboratory, where I study hereditary heart disease in Newfoundland. This is where I was first introduced to stem cell research and the great potential these cells have in medical research.
