My name is Tessa Woodside, and I am an undergraduate student going into my third year of life sciences at Queens University! I am spending my second summer as a research trainee working with Drs. Sandra Dumanski and Sofia Ahmed in their lab at the University of Calgary, with the Libin Cardiovascular Institute. My primary research focus is on chronic kidney disease and its complications. However, I am especially interested in women's health and am keen on learning more!
