6 Questions with Matt Dankner

29 Oct 2020
I am from Montreal, I grew up in the West Island and I came to McGill in 2012 to do my Bachelor’s in Anatomy & Cell Biology. During that time, I started to develop my interest in research and medicine, and also spent four months at Leeds University in the UK as part of a study exchange, which I really enjoyed. Currently, I am part of the combined MD/PhD program at McGill where I carry out research at the GCRC. I will be re-integrating back into medical school in January, following 4 years of full-time research for my PhD.
