PEOPLE

Cara Hawey
MSc student


I completed my BSc in Biomedical Toxicology at the University of Guelph in December 2018. During my undergrad I held coop positions at Mirexus Biotechnologies and went on to work full time following my graduation. There I researched the use of phytoglycogen nanoparticles in a diverse array of applications including cosmetics, skin biology, antimicrobials, cancer targeting, and immune modulation. As of Fall 2020 I am joining the Hébert lab as a Master's student on a project aiming to improve precision medicine by characterizing patient dilated cardiomyopathies using an inducible pluripotent stem cell model.
