Ferdinand (Reke) Avikpe and Sajida Chowdhury are among the University of Toronto doctoral students selected for this year’s cohort. The fellowship program, offered through the School of Graduate Studies, provides funding and training to support projects that engage audiences beyond academia and communicate the broader impact of research.
Four doctoral students in the University of Toronto’s Institute of Biomedical Engineering (BME) have been awarded the highly competitive Canadian Institutes of Health Research (CIHR) Canada Graduate Research Scholarship – Doctoral (CGRS D).
Meet Savina Cammalleri, a third-year PhD student at the University of Toronto’s Institute of Biomedical Engineering, who shares how her work in microfluidics is advancing our understanding of how brain cells communicate; currently studying at the Max Planck Institute in Germany, she reflects on global research experiences, her leadership as Vice President of the Biomedical Engineering Graduate Mentorship Program, and how vulnerability and connection build stronger communities, while her work with Halo Health and Front Row Ventures highlights how science and entrepreneurship come together to create real-world impact and meaningful innovation.
Meet Amy Huang, an MASc student at the Institute of Biomedical Engineering and one of two selected fellows for the 2nd IEEE EMBS x One Mind Accelerator Fellowship. Over three months, she explored healthcare innovation and industry‑driven biomedical solutions, culminating in an invitation to attend the OMA Closing Week in San Francisco. Amy shares what she learned from engaging with leaders in biomedical engineering, clinical innovation, and health technology.
Sarah is a 5th‑year Engineering Science student majoring in Biomedical Engineering at the University of Toronto, where she also competes on the Varsity Cross Country and Track & Field teams. A USports Academic All‑Canadian and recipient of both the OUA and USports Cross Country Community Service Awards, she is recognized for her excellence in athletics, academics, and community impact. She is completing her senior thesis in Professor Leo Chou’s lab, developing chemical strategies to attach antigens to DNA-based nanostructures to enhance their stability and immunogenicity, contributing to the advancement of next‑generation DNA-based immunotherapies.
As part of a cross-sector collaboration between U of T Engineering, the Reach Alliance, and Mexico-based GSE Biomedical, BME PhD student Samantha Unger contributes to a social impact market analysis aimed at improving access to self-sampling diagnostic devices across regions with limited health infrastructure. Her work helps bridge research and practical implementation, an essential step in closing critical care gaps.
Karim Mithani, a PhD student at the University of Toronto Institute of Biomedical Engineering, has received a graduate scholarship from the University of Toronto Alumni Association (UTAA) in recognition of his research on the neural basis of impulsive behaviour and the development of new neuromodulation therapies.
We were delighted to host more than 20 prospective students at our annual Graduate Research Day on Friday, February 20th at Hart House.
The Last Breath (2025), a digital artwork created in Adobe Fresco by biomedical engineering Master of Engineering student Dinuri Punchihewa, was selected as the cover image for this year’s annual Biomedical Engineering magazine.
