Dishan Wijeshinghe, special student - (dishan.wijesinghe<at>alumni.utoronto.ca)
I'm a recent graduate from the University of Toronto and started in the Nagy lab as a summer student and was lucky enough to continue on to assist with the project of expanding mouse neuronal progenitor cells in vitro using doxycycline inducible expression of the n-myc gene. I have also helped contribute to projects involving reprogramming of mouse beta cells and will start on a new project this coming summer.
