A look into award-winning graduate research in the TRP
Each year, many graduate learners in the Department of Laboratory Medicine and Pathobiology (LMP) at the Temerty Faculty of Medicine receive awards at the National and Provincial levels, and this year is no exception.
Our learners received CGS-D, CGS-M, OGS, and other merit-based awards, proving their commitment to their research and the high-calibre of their work.
Congratulations to all our learners!
We reached out to some of them to learn more about their research and what this award will enable them to do

Shayan Novin
MHSc candidate in the Translational Research Program and Fellow at the 2S/LGBTQ+ Health Hub.
“Pre-exposure prophylaxis (PrEP) has been a game changer in reducing HIV transmission. While PrEP is highly effective, individuals may face barriers in accessing the drug.
Current research indicates that PrEP use in Ontario is suboptimal. My research project aims to develop a tool that helps individuals secure financial assistance to access PrEP. By streamlining this process, I hope to increase PrEP use across the province.
This award will enable me to advance these community-focused research efforts, enhancing the real-world impact of my work."
