We are our proud of TCNLab MD/PhD candidate Shahnaza Hamidullah for her outstanding leadership and scholarly achievements resulting in her becoming a Vanier scholar!

“Named after Major-General Georges P. Vanier, the first francophone Governor General of Canada, the Vanier Canada Graduate Scholarships (Vanier CGS) program helps Canadian institutions attract highly qualified doctoral students.” The Vanier considers three key (equally weighed skills): leadership, research potential, and academic excellence. Applicants to this award span all disciples. (Click here for more information on the Vanier CSG)
