MitoMetabLab has been celebrating its 2nd birthday this past week, and wow how we have grown! Dr. Dunham-Snary is delighted to welcome returning scholars Mia and Abhi (TMED MSc), Dalia (LISC 595 - Mitochondrial Biology), and Samsara (work study research scholar) and extend a warm welcome to new members of Team MitoMetabLab: Justin (DBMS-EM MSc) joins the team from WesternU; Jennifer (PATH 499) and Cassandra (PHGY 499) will be completing their honours theses this year, and Raymond (BHSc-Yr 3) will complete the research portion of his health sciences degree.
The "new normal" will take some adjusting, and we will continue to operate at full capacity, observing best practices as the pandemic is not yet over, but the team is excited to get to work!
