Meet Our New Students

We are excited to welcome a group of talented new students who have joined our team this year. Each will contribute to important areas of neonatal and perinatal research while developing hands-on skills through independent projects.

Grace Leaman – PMCOL 402 Student

We are pleased to welcome Grace Leaman to our team as part of the PMCOL 401/402 Pharmacology Tutorial.

These independent research courses offer pharmacology specialization students the opportunity to gain hands-on laboratory and research experience, including experimental design, data analysis, literature review, and scientific presentation skills.

Grace’s project will focus on examining alternative approaches to vasopressin administration during neonatal resuscitation. Her work will contribute to exploring potential strategies to improve cardiovascular support for newborns requiring intensive care at birth.

Sabah Binte Khorshed – PMCOL 302 Student

We are pleased to welcome Sabah Binte Khorshed to our team as part of the PMCOL 302 Pharmacology Tutorial.

These research courses offer pharmacology specialization students the opportunity to gain hands-on laboratory and research experience, including experimental design, data analysis, literature review, and scientific presentation skills.

Sabah’s project will focus on examining injury markers after vasopressin administration during neonatal resuscitation. Her work will contribute to exploring potential strategies to improve cardiovascular support for newborns requiring intensive care at birth.

Abibah Kromah – BIOL 399A Student

We are delighted to welcome Abibah Kromah to our team through BIOL 399A – Research Project in the Faculty of Science. This two-term independent research course offers third-year students the opportunity to gain hands-on experience in scientific investigation, with successful completion requiring a written report on the research project.

Abibah’s project will focus on vascular growth factors during asphyxia, an important area of investigation to better understand mechanisms of injury and repair in newborns affected by hypoxic events. Her work will advance knowledge of neonatal physiology and potential therapeutic strategies.

Looking Ahead

We are proud to support the next generation of researchers as they embark on these exciting projects. Their work spans innovative devices, novel drug administration strategies, and fundamental physiology — each contributing to our mission of improving outcomes for newborns worldwide.
