2025 Toronto Hub Program

Share this event
This fall, we are excited to welcome Drs. Iva Greenwald and Gary Struhl, 2025 Canada Gairdner International Award laureates, to the Toronto Hub as part of the Gairdner Connects Programming. We invite high school students, undergraduate students, researchers, faculty, and the broader academic community to attend this special event.

Drs. Greenwald and Struhl are internationally recognized for their pioneering work on the Notch signalling pathway, which has significantly contributed to our understanding of how cells communicate with each other during development, how these signals regulate cell fate determination and how disruption can lead to developmental defects and cancer.

The program includes a high school student lecture with an interactive Q&A session. In the afternoon, a university lecture and Q&A will take place, immediately followed by an open networking reception, all scheduled for Tuesday, October 21. These events will provide valuable opportunities for direct engagement with Drs. Greenwald and Struhl, as well as one of our select 2025 Early Career Investigators, Nika Shakiba.
