A summer school program hosted by 91��ɫ’s Muscle Health Research Centre in the School of Kinesiology & Health Science is preparing Canada’s next generation of researchers in the field of neuromuscular disease.

The two-day program equips 32 graduate students and post-doctoral fellow trainees with critical tools to enhance their research capabilities and professional networks, laying a foundation for more effective research collaboration across the nation. The summer school, which runs May 7 and 8, serves as a prelude to 91��ɫ’s 16th annual Muscle Health Awareness Day on May 9, which continues to be a significant platform for research dissemination.

Through the program's sessions, which use cutting-edge laboratory techniques, participants will engage in medical research activities and discussions with leading researchers, patient advocates and industry representatives.

The workshops are led by 91��ɫ graduate students and post-doctoral fellows, including:
•&�Բ��;Luke Flewwelling, PhD student from Professor Arthur Cheng’s lab;
• PhD students Madison Garibotti and Aditya Brahmbhatt from Professor Christopher Perry’s lab; and
• graduate students Mark Danesh, Jaryeon Lee, Ethan Sooklal and Lucas Campagna, along with post-doctoral fellow Quentin Jean Michel Sastourne-Arrey, from Professor Anthony Scime’s lab.
