Building a Balanced Career in Science & HEALTH SCIENCES: ROAD TO SUCCESS
Join us for an inspiring talk and engaging Q&A session with Dr. Michelle MacDonald, an accomplished researcher and educator dedicated to advancing careers in the health sciences.
Dr. MacDonald is a proud alumna of McMaster University, where she completed her undergraduate degree in Biochemistry and pursued a PhD in the Medical Sciences Graduate Program, specializing in muscle biochemistry. Her doctoral research focused on the regulation of carbohydrate and lactate metabolism in human skeletal muscle. She later completed a postdoctoral fellowship at the University of Waterloo, investigating fatty acid transport proteins in skeletal muscle and adipose tissue and their roles in Type 2 diabetes. Currently, Dr. MacDonald is a Teaching Professor in the Department of Biochemistry and Biomedical Sciences at McMaster University. She also serves as Co-Director of the Integrated Biomedical Engineering and Health Sciences program, a groundbreaking joint initiative between the Faculties of Health Sciences and Engineering.
Don't miss the chance to learn from her wealth of experience in research, education, and mentoring future scientists!
Open to all undergraduate and graduate students.
