The McGill University Department of Pathology is located in the Duff Medical Building on the downtown University campus at the edge of splendid Mount Royal. The Department offers research training in a wide variety of areas such as carcinogenesis, mechanisms of respiratory diseases, molecular pathology and immunology, neoplasia and cell biology, cell differentiation, cell adhesion molecules, biomedical image processing, neurodegenerative disorders and opthalmic pathology. Research laboratories are located in the Duff Medical Building, the Research Institute of the McGill University Health Centre and McGill Teaching Hospitals.
Spring Convocation was very special this year - nine of our graduate students received their degrees, and three members of the department were involved in the ceremony. Prisca Bustamante, Constanza Martinez-Ramirez, Shaida Ouladan and Mahbuba Subeha received PhDs, while Aeshah Alluli, Luc Boulianne, Tadhg Ferrier, Alexander Laskaris and Matthew Preteroti received MScs. Prof Edith Zorychta is the university Co-Marshal, and Prof Carlos Telleria and Dr. Hua Ling were Faculty Marshals for Medicine and Health Sciences. Some of us managed to find each other among the thousands of happy people celebrating on the campus after the ceremony, and it was wonderful to be together for a photo. It was also a great pleasure to be on the stage with our graduates as they received their degrees.
The past two years have been challenging, and our Pathology Student Society (PSS) has been strongly involved in maintaining community spirit. PSS normally organizes events that allow graduate students to connect and share their common scientific interests, and to enjoy being together for social activities. During the pandemic there were limited options for in-person events but PSS managed to organize one every semester. In fall they arranged a group hike up to the Mont-Royal observatory. Since many students come from abroad, PSS wanted to highlight a destination that is special for all Montrealers. They started from the Peel St. entrance near campus and ended at Beaver Lake at dusk to watch the sunset with some pumpkin spice lattes. The end of the winter semester was celebrated with a small get-together at McGill’s very own graduate center, Thomson House. PSS had an entire lounge booked with complementary food and drinks. A fun-filled night with great company and hopefully many more to come.
