SfRBM 2024 Annual Meeting









KDS followed the 'original trilogy' to Savannah, Georgia for SfRBM's Annual Meeting in November. Abhi, Dalia, and Mia ALL won abstract/travel awards, and Abhi stole the show with a podium presentation and a featured poster! We can still smell the pralines!









2024 MitoMetabLab Adventure
The team returned to the trees for another summer of laughs, encouragement, and team-building. There is never a dull moment with this crew!

2023 Holiday Season
Team MitoMetabLab's 2nd Annual Non-Denominational but undoubtedly Christmas-flavored Winter Holiday Celebration. Snacks, songs, and a new tradition (the trainee White Elephant gift exchange) was established!



This holiday also marked the first Time for Science to Shine @ Queen's celebration, hosted by the Translational Institute of Medicine (TIME). KDS and MML graduate students were in attendance celebrating with TIME faculty, TMED students and members of the Queen's Department of Medicine.




Christmas came early for MitoMetabLab and the gift was its first PhD student! Mia delivered a stellar 'mini-MSc' defence and will commence PhD studies in the Translational Medicine Graduate Program in January 2024!


2023 SfRBM-SfRRI Annual Meeting



KDS and Mia journeyed to Punta del Este, Uruguay in November to attend the 2023 SfRBM Annual Meeting. The southernmost point in all of Uruguay offered great science, spectacular views, good eats, and was a fantastic adventure!








2023 MitoMetabLab Adventure
Some labs call it a retreat, but the thrill-seekers of Team MitoMetabLab call it our Annual Adventure! For 2023, we tackled the treetops of the Thousand Islands!
