Alyson Jiang
MSc Student |
I graduated from a BSc in Pharmacology and Therapeutics
from McGill University in May 2021. During my third year
of undergrad, I joined the Hébert lab as a volunteer and
then continued in the lab as an Honours student during
my fourth year. My Honours project involved writing a
literature review on iPSC-derived cardiomyocyte
maturation methods and a mock grant proposal on
phenotyping dilated cardiomyopathy using
iPSC-cardiomyocytes. Having really enjoyed this type of
research and work, I decided to pursue a MSc in the
Hébert lab! As a MSc student, I will be joining the
Heart in a Dish project aiming to characterize dilated
cardiomyopathy from patient-derived iPSC-cardiomyocytes
to inform personalized approaches to medicine.
