Our MSc student, Ryan Ugovsek, has been awarded the NSERC CGSM for his project “Investigating the Neural Representations of Self-Motion in the Zebrafish Cerebellum and Hindbrain”.
We are pleased to share that Tiantian won Best Poster at the CSB Undergraduate Research Poster Session for 2026! Tiantian’s project investigated the survival rate and light-dark preference of various transgenic zebrafish lines expressing GCaMP6, a genetically encoded fluorescent calcium indicator, compared with wild-type zebrafish. This award highlights Tiantian’s ability to communicate her research goals

Cameron Parro has been awarded the Janssen Graduate Award for Equity & Inclusion, an annual award recognizing a graduate student in health sciences or neuroscience within the Department of Cell & Systems Biology based on academic merit.
Pauline Shen has been awarded an SGS Conference Grant from the University of Toronto School of Graduate Studies in support of her research presentation at the 2025 Zebrafish Neurobiology Conference.
Oscar has been recognized at the Undergraduate Engineering Research Day (UnERD) for his outstanding research presentation. This award highlights his excellent communication skills and innovative contributions to undergraduate research. Congratulations!
Altered locomotion and anxiety after exposure to SiO2 nanoparticles in larval zebrafish. https://rdcu.be/enz92 This work opens up our long-term collaboration with Kai Huang, where we assess the impact of nanoparticles on the nervous system for future nano medicine development.
This summer, Yapeng will be using our 3D virtual reality system to dissect neural mechanisms of spatial navigation using zebrafish, supported by a UTEA. Congratulations! *This cool VR system was developed by Toby Yang, who was a CSB498 student.
Ahmed has just been selected as a recipient of the 2024-25 CSB TA Teaching Excellence Award for his outstanding work in BIO130H1. He was nominated by students in this course. Congratulations!
