Expanding access in biomedical research

The skills I learned from Professor Omar Khan, like manufacturing practices and the design processes, have been really instrumental in my success and getting into my current role. I’ve been able to apply a lot of what I learned in the lab — the ways of thinking and then being able to properly articulate what I’m doing and why I’m doing it.

Alum of the Medicine by Design and the Research Application Support Initiative (RASI) Summer Student Research Program

Wuraola joined the lab of Omar Khan, a professor at U of T's Institute of Biomedical Engineering, after finishing his fourth and final year at U of T studying pharmacology, cell biology and computer science. Medicine by Design’s Summer Student Research Program supports high performing undergraduate students from underrepresented communities. It is carried out in partnership with the Research Application Support Initiative (RASI), part of the Community of Support program at U of T’s Temerty Faculty of Medicine.
