Fellows focus&nbsp;on engaging the public through their scholarly work – this can take a range of forms, from describing their work in a public forum to partnering with a school, community organization or cultural institution in an ongoing two-way exchange of knowledge and practices.</p> <p>"The School of Graduate Studies is proud to support the creative work being done by our Connaught PhDs for Public Impact fellows as they find novel ways to engage the public with the incredible research being done at 91¶ĚĘÓƵ," said <strong>Vina Goghari</strong>, vice-dean, research and program innovation at the School of Graduate Studies. "We are grateful for the generous support from the Connaught Fund in enabling this type of innovative scholarship, and we congratulate this new cohort of fellows as they begin work on their projects."</p> <p>The 2024-25 Connaught PhDs for Public Impact Fellows are:</p> <ul> <li><strong>Hanne Bartels</strong>, Institute of Medical Science, Temerty Faculty of Medicine</li> <li><strong>Rhonda Boateng</strong>, Institute of Health Policy, Management and Evaluation (IHPME), Dalla Lana School of Public Health</li> <li><strong>Mohammadamir (Amir) Moghaddam</strong>, Institute of Biomedical Engineering, Faculty of Applied Science &amp;

One of the proteins was found to be able to <a href="https://thedonnellycentre.utoronto.ca/news/double-life-sp1-proteins-new-role-upends-long-held-thinking-about-its-impact-cancer">enhance the ability of cancer cells to develop into tumours</a>, while the other was found to <a href="https://genomebiology.biomedcentral.com/articles/10.1186/s13059-024-03392-7">perform the reverse role by suppressing growth of tumour cells</a>.</p> <p>“Nabeel has had an extraordinary PhD career,” said his supervisor&nbsp;<strong>Jack Greenblatt</strong>,&nbsp;<a href="https://www.provost.utoronto.ca/awards-funding/university-professors/complete-list-university-professors/">University Professor</a>&nbsp;in the department of molecular genetics. “He published 25 peer-reviewed papers from research he conducted over the course of his studies, with lead authorship on 12 of them – and he continues to publish papers from his thesis work. Nabeel made the most of his PhD by contributing significantly and widely across biomedicine.”</p> <p>Shah credits Greenblatt for being a supportive adviser who provided guidance while allowing him to work independently to develop research projects. “I believe if I was a PhD student in any other lab, it wouldn’t have been possible for me to accomplish as much as I did,” said Shah.</p> <h3><a href="https://thedonnellycentre.utoronto.ca/news/nabeel-shah-wins-2024-donnelly-centre-research-thesis-prize">Read the Donnelly Centre story</a></h3> </div> <div class="field field--name-field-source field--type-string field--label-hidden field__item">Donnelly </div> <div class="field field--name-field-top-story-hub-page- field--type-boolean field--label-above"> <div class="field__label">Top Story (Hub page)</div> <div class="field__item">Off</div> </div> Wed, 02 Oct 2024 14:07:36 +0000 rahul.kalvapalle 309657 at 34 91¶ĚĘÓƵ scholars receive research infrastructure support from CFI's John R.
