My name is Lily Yang and I was a Cellular, Anatomical & Physiological Sciences student! I just completed a 12 month co-op at the Djavad Mowafaghian Centre for Brain Health, where I worked with the 3D tissue engineering group to create in vitro human cerebral blood vessels to model various pathologies involved in Alzheimer’s disease.
I have also previously been involved in clinical research at Sports Cardiology BC, where I worked with masters athletes throughout BC in a five year prospective study on their cardiovascular health. In my spare time, I love distance running, working out, and trying out new air fryer recipes. Fun fact about me is that my family has owned an ice cream stand for over 8 years!
