Born and raised in Bangladesh, Tanbira completed a degree in Medicine at Dhaka University. She then moved to Kingston to pursue her M.Sc. at Queen’s University under the supervision of Drs. Brendon Gurd and Chris McGlory.

Originally from Willaimstown, Ontario, Kassia moved to Kingston, Ontario, to complete her B.Sc.H. degree in Biology at Queen’s University. She is currently completing her M.Sc. degree in muscle physiology with Dr. Brendon Gurd. When not in the lab, Kassia enjoys staying fit and spending time with her family and her cats.

Originally from Madoc, Ontario, Kyra studied at Queen’s University where she received an undergraduate degree in Kinesiology. In fourth year, Kyra completed a manuscript challenging the ‘master-regulator’ PGC-1a paradigm looking at exercise-induced activation of novel regulators of skeletal muscle mitochondrial biogenesis. This paved an avenue for her M.Sc. work studying the reading protein expression of novel regulators of mitochondrial biogenesis across the early and late follicular phases of the menstrual cycle.

Originally from Mississauga, Ontario, Matt completed his undergraduate degree in Bio-Medical Science at the University of Guelph. While attending U of G, Matt completed a 4th-year thesis and has had the opportunity to work closely with NHL and varsity-level hockey teams. Matt’s M.Sc. will focus on investigating molecular signalling pathways of PGC-1a and mechanisms that regulate mitochondrial biogenesis.

Originally from Brampton Ontario, Ben completed his Undergraduate degree in Biology (Hons.) at Queen’s University in 2020. During his undergraduate years, Ben was a member of the Queen’s Gaels varsity football team and transitioned into the coaching role while pursuing his MSc. in 2020. Ben’s research focuses on the upstream molecular mechanisms that regulate mitochondrial biogenesis at various high intensities of exercise.
