Dr. Nafissa Ismail has recently been selected for the 2018 Ontario-China Young Scientist Exchange Program (YSEP). The goals of the exchange program are to develop long-term research collaborations between Ontario and Chinese institutions, to encourage the development of leadership skills among YSEP participants and to create future "science ambassadors" between the two jurisdictions.
Dr. Ismail will go to Beijing and Shanghai this fall to meet Chinese collaborators in connection with her projects on the microbiome and mental health.
Our sincere congratulations!
