Lewin, Isabel
I am a Master’s student at the University of British Columbia working in Dr. Jessica Rosin’s lab, where I study the behaviour of fetal microglia in response to maternal environmental stressors. My academic interests were shaped by early coursework in cell biology, where I became fascinated by the complex cell-cell interactions and signalling pathways […]

Bernard, Grace
I am a graduate student based out of the BC Cancer Research Centre. Originally I’m from Victoria but I moved to Vancouver to pursue a degree centered around immunotherapeutic approaches to treating disease. I am also very passionate about science communication and have a podcast where we distill high level concepts about immunotherapy for […]
Rosin, Jessica
The processes governing proper development of the fetus are being recognized as increasingly complex in nature and highly sensitive to the maternal intrauterine environment. Dr. Jessica Rosin’s research aims to understand how distinct populations of microglia, the resident macrophages and phagocytic immune cells of the brain, signal to nearby cells during gestation to contribute […]
Dyck, Megan
I am a graduate student in the lab of Dr. Brad Nelson at the University of Victoria and BC Cancer Victoria. My research focusses on the immune response to ovarian cancer and we are specifically interested in leveraging a system of blood proteins called complement to improve outcomes in this disease. I am passionate […]
