Congratulations to Catherine Copley and Mariam Elsawy for their excellent posters at the Department of Biology Undergraduate Summer Research Day. It was a pleasure having them in the lab this summer!
Members of The Bruin Lab pose in the photobooth at the Fisher Scientific Anuual BBQ. We had a great time celebrating science and Canada's 150th anniversary, while enjoying good food (and snagging some lab goodies).
We are pleased to welcome our newest lab member, Mariam Elsawy, to the Bruin Lab! Mariam is working in the lab through the Dean's Summer Research Internship (DSRI) offered by Carleton University.
Congratulations to Myriam Hoyeck for being awarded an NSERC Canada Graduate Scholarships-Master’s (CGS M) award. This is a prestigious award worth $17,500 per year, awarded to 2,500 graduate students across Canada annually.
The Bruin Lab has completed its first islet isolation. It is amazing to come into the lab to see such focus and hard work. We managed to yield 300, 370, and 420 islets per mouse!
We welcome four new lab members: Geronimo Matteo (MSc.), Erin MacFarlane (MSc.), Hannah Blair (NSERC USRA), Catherine Copley (DSRI). It is exciting to see the team beginning to grow!
The Bruin Lab has its first successful grant application! Thank you to the NSERC Discovery Grant program for funding our project entitled: Mechanisms Underlying the Regulation of Beta Cell Function by Environmental Pollutants.
