Developing bioanalytical technologies for protein quantification using bioinspired nanomaterials to pursue our vision of solving key challenges in disease diagnostics and revolutionizing women’s health.
We wish to acknowledge this land on which the University of Toronto operates. For thousands of years, it has been the traditional land of the Huron-Wendat, the Seneca, and the Mississaugas of the Credit. Today, this meeting place is still the home to many Indigenous people from across Turtle Island and we are truly grateful to have the opportunity to work on this land.
In addition, we acknowledge the colonial roots of science. We will strive to connect with Indigenous communities that might be impacted by our research, or on whose traditional land we may wish to conduct research. We will also strive to approach research and teaching from different perspectives, acknowledging that there are multiple ways of knowing. We commit to acting on U of T’s Answering the Call Wecheehetowin Final Report.
