Really cool to have my lab’s work on vascularization in regenerative medicine featured in an article in Best Health magazine alongside fantastic work done by other outstanding women! @StemCellNetwork @UofT_LMP @bme_uoft @vascularbiology @The_MCSociety @UHN_Research @TGHRI_UHN
Tara is doing amazing work. Keep your eyes peeled for her lab's research diabetes community!
Our latest BBDC member feature looks at the research of Dr. Tara MacDonald from UofT Physiology! Learn more about the work in her new lab and her project with Dr. @YYZscientist. bbdc.org/newsletters/pr…
Yesterday the 2025 #MRMSymposium ended on a high note! 🎤 We closed with a powerful keynote by Dr. Sara S. Nunes de Vasconcelos on therapeutic vascularization. 🙏 Thanks to the @StemCellNetwork, Gold Sponsor & Keynote Lecture sponsor! 🏆 Congrats to our award winners!
Parabéns, Daniel! 🎉🎉
🌟“Surprise is always the strongest signal that you found something new.” Research from @GairdnerAwards awardee @decarvalho_lab is unlocking powerful new tools impacting cancer clinical care, from interception, detection to therapy design and monitoring. uhnresearch.ca/news/meet-dani…

Today we celebrated Garry's amazing 45 year research career and accomplishments as we wished him luck in his retirement from the @FishLab_UHN, @kat_howe and Vasconcelos labs. He will be missed!
📢My UBC lab is recruiting two postdocs: (1) focus on topically applicable gene therapies to rescue severe skin diseases, (2) bioengineering of complex human-based models harnessing organ-on-a-chip technology: @UBC (1) lnkd.in/dvcGqWaE (2) lnkd.in/dmYCA74K
Congratulations to Fernanda Torres on winning Best Female Actor – Motion Picture – Drama at the #GoldenGlobes!
Two thought-provoking talks, using microvessels to treat cardiac infaction in a large animal model by @YYZscientist and using biomaterials for Car-T therapy by @XiaoHuangNano #cmbe2025
🎉 It’s the First Day of CMBE 2025! We’re excited to kick off the conference in Carlsbad, CA! Get ready for groundbreaking research, dynamic networking, and unforgettable experiences. We can't wait to see you all! 👋 #CMBE2025
To the delight of my Brazilian relatives (and mine too), it seems like it will be a white X-mas after all. I love the sound of (or lack of it) the city when it snows. Happy Holidays everyone! 🎄
Yesterday's @MbD_UofT Symposium, themed "Driving Translation with Transformative Science," brought together experts to discuss the journey from research to patient impact. SCN was proud to see members like @amywongphd, @mcnostro, @milicaruoft, and @yyzscientist making an impact!
When you have to re-learn long division to help your kid w homework because what you learned in your home country is much easier and nothing like 👇🏼 Any other #expats going through this “delightful” experience? Ugh
