To Immunity and Beyond<\/strong><\/h4>\n
The CDTRP is pleased to present a 13-part webinar series designed to disseminate CIHR-funded immunology research, foster knowledge exchange, and strengthen collaboration across Canada\u2019s immunity, donation, and transplantation communities. A national virtual series disseminating cutting-edge immunology research at the intersection of immunity, infection, organ donation, and transplantation.<\/h5>\n
The series includes\u00a0two primer webinars\u00a0on foundational immunology topics for non-specialists (offered bilingually), alongside eleven main scientific webinars\u00a0pairing mid- to late-career investigators with trainees or showcasing early-career researchers.<\/h5>\n<\/div>

About Aisha Adil<\/strong><\/h4>\n

Aisha is an MSc graduate student through Institute of Medical Science at University of Toronto under the supervision of Dr. Siba Haykal and Dr. Golnaz Karoubi. Her research location is in Latner Thoracic Surgical Research Laboratories at University Health Network. Aisha previously obtained an Honours Bachelor of Science at the University of Toronto, with a specialization in Health and Disease before proceeding to graduate studies. Her research focuses on tissue engineering composite rat hindlimbs using tissue de- and recellularization for vascular composite allotransplantation (VCA). She has published her work on decellularization of the rat hindlimb and is currently assessing recellularization strategies. She is a recipient of numerous awards including the Banting and Best Canada Graduate Scholarship (CGS-M). She has presented her graduate work at various conferences locally and nationally. She aspires to continue in academia medicine by pursuing further doctorate training through a clinician-scientist pathway.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div><\/div>
