Why I chose Guelph...

I chose to do my graduate studies at U of G because I did a research project and Co op at the University, and I really liked the project and I wanted to continue.

About my advisor...

My advisor was really supportive and he cares about his grad students. ​

How will my work Improve Life?

My research was about developing a model for cardiomapathy which are caused by mutations in sarcomeric proteins. My research will eventually help the field to know how these mutations that lead to cardiomyopathy bring about the disease state.

My future plans...

I am still deciding, but something to do with fertility and reproduction.
