Natalie Robinson is a 2025 Canada Student Merit Award winner. She achieved this award for obtaining the highest standing of her class in the fourth and final year of her degree. Here is a brief biography of the winner.
In my final year, I undertook an undergraduate research project, which focused on investigating the lipid organisation in mitochondrial membranes during cell death using neutron scattering techniques. This work aimed to contribute to the development of targeted cancer therapeutics. For this project, I was granted the Hutnik Research Award for an outstanding undergraduate thesis in Biochemistry. This September, I will continue my academic and research journey as I begin my Master’s degree in Biochemistry at the University of Windsor. I look forward to further exploring the relationship between mitochondrial membrane dynamics and disease, particularly in the context of cancer.
