It's a wrap! The fourth annual Ajmera Research Day @UHNTransplant was a great success with 66 submitted abstracts and illuminating talks by keynote speakers Anna Valujskikh @ClevelandClinic and @Tereza_Martinu @UHN. Thanks to all participants and sponsors!
* New Research Site Video Short * Alex walks us through his lab at the @MaRSDD — North America’s largest urban innovation hub— while answering 5 questions about his research and workspace. 👨🔬 🏙️
Congratulations @_AlexBoshart on receiving the ORT Conference Participation Award! Alex is a PhD student in Dr. Ana Konvalinka's lab at the @TGHRI_UHN. He studies antibody-mediated rejection in kidney transplantation with a focus on endothelial cells and glomerular damage.
🚨Apparently all NIH Study Sections have been suspended indefinitely. For those who don’t know, this means there won’t be any review of grants submitted to NIH Depending on how long this goes on for, this could lead to an interruption in billions in research funding.
It was very fulfilling to represent the Konvalinka Lab, @UHNTransplant and @UofTIMS at the annual @cst_transplant meeting in Montreal last week! Thank you to everyone who presented and asked interesting questions at my poster!
We had a great time at this morning's IMS Research Rounds hearing about the exciting kidney research our graduate student presenters are working on!
Join us for breakfast on July 25 for our next IMS Research Rounds to hear about the exciting kidney research our graduate students are conducting. Register here: docs.google.com/forms/d/e/1FAI…
We had a great time hearing from our accomplished panelists and networking with fellow IMS and Sick Kids trainees at our IMS Connects: Working in Industry event on Monday. Thanks to everyone who joined us!
@TGHRI_UHN’s Drs. @akonvalinka1 and Sergi Clotet-Freixas (@SCF_lab) led an international team of researchers to explore novel sex-differences in kidney metabolism that has revealed sex-specific outcomes in diabetic #KidneyDisease > uhnresearch.ca/news/decoding-…; doi.org/10.1126/scitra…

I always get asked what does research look like, cause this position is never a 9-5. Here, I highlight "A week in my life", as a #PhD student at @UofTIMS. It's a combination of research, coursework, teaching, extracurriculars, and personal life.
#UofT fifth in the world, first among North American public universities: NTU rankings 🌎 uoft.me/9D
Toronto is already a powerhouse in life sciences research because of the commitment of UofT, @UHN, @SickKidsNews, @CAMHnews , @Sunnybrook , @UnityHealthTO and other academic medical centres. Canadian government needs to step up its ambition and invest
