Claudia Feraco

I'm Claudia Feraco! I graduated from Toronto Metropolitan University (TMU) with a BSc in Biology and am now pursuing my MHSc in Translational Research at the University of Toronto. Prior to starting my graduate studies, I completed a Certificate in Project Management at TMU and am continuing to work on an early-stage startup at TMU’s Science Discovery Zone focused on creating safer, user-centred menstrual health products. I love staying directly connected to patient care and the community, which is why I’ve recently returned to volunteering at Women’s College Hospital. Overall, I bring a lot of enthusiasm, curiosity, and positive energy to everything I take on!

Research Interests:

My work is driven by a passion for women’s health and a desire to bridge the gap between scientific research and real-world care. While my initial work has centered on reproductive and menstrual health, I am excited to explore a broad range of challenges across the women's health spectrum during my time in the MHSc program. I am particularly interested in how translational research can address systemic gaps, moving away from standard, one-size-fits-all approaches to design products, care models, and health strategies that reflect diverse, lived experiences. Overall, I hope to collaborate across disciplines to turn evidence-based ideas into accessible, patient-centred solutions that improve healthcare for women at every stage.
