Even though I'm a highschool student at the University of Toronto Schools, I'm an enthusiastic student researcher at the Lunenfeld-Tanenbaum Lab at Mount Sinai Hospital. I've been involved in studying biological pathways for 2 years already and I'm expanding my prospects towards kallikrein-associated diseases. It is an absolutely unparalleled experience to apply educational knowledge in a hands-on environment. It takes a lot of commitment, time, drive, and passion to start at an early age. I am also a professional fencer on the Canada National Team. I've been fencing for 6 years now and I've represented Canada internationally at North American Cups, European Circuits, Pan Ams, and the Junior World Cup. I am also a qualified referee as well as founder and head coach of our school's fencing team. |
| Michelle Li Regulation of Adipokines and Fat Growth by Master-switch Protein Kinase
Défi: | Santé | Catégorie: | Sénior | Région: | York | Ville: | Maple, ON | École: | University of Toronto Schools | Sommaire: | Obesity has become an increasingly prevalent concern over the last century. The project targets this condition by analyzing Glycogen Synthase Kinase-3's (GSK-3) regulatory effect on the characteristic fat growth and hormone secretions. Results suggest GSK-3's role as a negative regulator of fat-specific hormones and key differentiation growth genes. |
