We welcome Colin Phipps, PhD, into our group at the School of Pharmacy, University of Waterloo. Colin is a recent graduate in Applied Mathematics, University of Waterloo. His doctoral research focussed on the development of mathematical models for the rational combination of cancer therapies including the use of chemotherapy-loaded nanodelivery vehicles and molecular inhibitors that mitigate chemoresistance.
Welcome to Alanna McEneny who began her MSc in Dr. Edginton's lab in September 2013. Alanna recently graduated from Wilfred Laurier University with a honours undergraduate degree majoring in both Chemistry and Mathematics. Alanna received an Ontario Graduate Scholarship to support her first MSc year. Congratulations and Welcome!
Esther Yun completed her M.Sc in Pharmacy under the supervision of Dr. Andrea Edginton at the University of Waterloo in June, 2013. Her M.Sc thesis was titled with “Development of a correlation based and a decision tree based prediction algorithm for tissue to plasma partition coefficients (Kp)”. In her M.Sc project, Esther developed two Kp prediction algorithms and also developed user-friendly web calculator for each algorithm.
Congratulations Esther!
