Celebrating your achievements - June 8
Congratulations to the Schulich community on your recent achievements:
Congratulations to Yilong Li for being recognized by Inspiring Minds for his work on acute kidney injury where he studies the signalling mechanisms that allow kidney cells to clear up debris and reduce inflammation during injury. Yilong is a MSc candidate in the Department of Microbiology and Immunology at the Schulich School of Medicine and Dentistry at Western University. He hopes that his research can provide insight for developing novel therapeutics to ameliorate acute kidney injury in patients. Yilong is supported by the NSERC Canada Graduate Scholarship for Master’s students.
