Undergraduate students interested in gaining hands-on research experience are welcome to join the Stem Brain Lab through ANA498Y1 – Project in Anatomy. This full-year research course provides an opportunity to undertake a hypothesis-driven research project in stem cell biology, neuroscience, regenerative medicine, brain injury, brain cancer, and related fields. Students receive training in laboratory techniques, experimental design, data analysis, and scientific communication while contributing to ongoing research within the laboratory.
Interested students are encouraged to contact the lab to discuss potential research projects before applying through the official ANA498Y1 course process.
We are seeking a highly motivated postdoctoral fellow to join our research program in glioblastoma biology and therapeutic discovery.
This position will focus on understanding glioblastoma heterogeneity, tumor stem cell biology, and translational therapeutic strategies using advanced experimental platforms, including human tumor organoids, patient-derived xenograft models, and molecular approaches for therapeutic evaluation.
We are looking for candidates with a recent PhD and strong research experience in cancer biology, stem cells, organoids, neuro-oncology, or related biomedical fields. Experience with tumor models, cell culture, molecular biology, and translational research approaches will be considered a strong asset.
Interested candidates should submit:
Cover letter
Curriculum vitae (CV)

We welcome highly motivated Master’s students interested in stem cell biology, brain organoids, neural circuit repair, brain injury, and neuro-oncology. Students in the lab work on interdisciplinary projects combining human stem cell models, molecular biology, and advanced experimental platforms to study mechanisms of brain injury and disease.
Most Master’s students join the lab through the Institute of Medical Science (IMS) . Prospective students should ensure they meet the eligibility requirements for the IMS MSc program.
Interested applicants should email the following:
Curriculum vitae (CV)
A brief description of previous research experience
A short statement outlining research interests and career goals
