Guest speakers
Mikhail Lobo, current 2nd year student
I have a background in Global Health from the University of Toronto, where I explored human-centered design to improve healthcare accessibility. My work has focused on co-designing solutions with marginalized communities, including leading an initiative at Fontbonne Ministries Mustard Seed to develop a laundry program tailored to the needs of unhoused individuals.
Currently, my Capstone Project - Project POTS focuses on co-creating solutions with physicians to address diagnostic barriers in Postural Orthostatic Tachycardia Syndrome (POTS) and improve care pathways for patients.
Beyond research, I have participated in innovation-driven initiatives, including the African Impact Challenge Health Entrepreneurs and the University Innovation Fellows (UIF) program by Stanford d.school, where I applied design thinking to healthcare challenges and interdisciplinary collaboration.

About the Translational Research Program (TRP)
The Master of Health Science (MHSc) in Translational Research is a project-based graduate degree intended for people from diverse backgrounds and career stages who aspire to apply knowledge for innovation in healthcare.
The two-year competency-focused degree employs collaborative and self-directed "learning by doing" to challenge you to think differently. You will explore strategies, competencies, and creative problem-solving approaches indispensable for innovating people-centered processes, procedure, products, and services within your current workplace or future career.
Through real-world challenges, mentorship, networking, and personal development plans, you will gain experience, expertise, and practical insights into processes, regulatory frameworks, translational network, and strategies applicable to a range of careers across medicine, health, and care.
