Congratulations to Emily Yeh (Terry Fox Laboratory), for receiving a Canada Graduate Scholarships - Master's Award (CGS-M) from the Canadian Institutes of Health Research (CIHR).
The award is tied to her project titled, "Investigating contrasting germline mutations: SETD2 associated neurodevelopment syndromes", which looks at epigenetic dysregulation and transcriptional changes associated with two SETD2 neurodevelopmental syndromes in addition to modeling the mutations in cerebral organoids.
The CIHR CGS-M awards provide special recognition and financial support to students who are pursuing a Master's degree in a health-related field in Canada, and are expected to have an exceptionally high potential for future research achievement and productivity.
Please join us in congratulating Emily on this achievement!
