Aimee Ryan
Associate Professor;聽Associate Dean, Graduate and Postdoctoral Affairs
I am an Associate Professor jointly appointed to the Departments of Human Genetics and Pediatrics. I am also the聽Associate Dean for Graduate and Postdoctoral Affairs in the Faculty of Medicine and Health Sciences.
My research focuses on understanding how early embryos take shape and how the environment and genetic variation intersect to impact embryonic development.
I believe in creating a research environment that fosters curiosity, and allows students to pursue their goals, and develop to their full potential. I am committed to improving equity, diversity, inclusion and well-being of all graduate students. I love spending time with family and friends.
I am grateful to my mentors who continue to listen, advise, challenge and nudge me throughout my academic career, and those that model work-life integration. Through this mentorship program I look forward to helping others navigate the sometimes complex landscape of academia and find solutions that increase their career satisfaction and enjoyment.
