• Biography

     

    I am a PhD Candidate in the Department of Cell & Systems Biology at the University of Toronto, and was previously a Clincial Research Project Manager at the Hospital for Sick Children performing the rodent stroke (mcao) model as the lead surgeon.

    I have supervised over 29 Biology/Psychology Honors Thesis and independent research project students in the last 5 years, 23 of whom are now in their own graduate programs. My colleague has described me as a "gremlin who lives in the basement always up to no good".


    I was born and partially raised in Hong Kong. Moved to Canada at a young age and decided science was something worth pursuing. The rest is history!
