Rylan vincent
MSC candidate
I am a Master's student in Cell and Systems Biology here at U of T Scarborough, and I joined the lab in 2023 to further develop my skills in plant research. I did my undergrad at the St. George campus where I majored in Cell and Systems Biology as well as Ecology and Evolutionary Biology. I am passionate about plant biology have a broad interest in biology as a whole. My current research involves increasing our understanding of how small RNAs (siRNAs, miRNAs, phasiRNAs) play a role in the genetic reprogramming of plant cells in response to immune stresses. When I'm not in the lab, you can find me in the valley hunting for fossils or pumping iron at Pan Am.

amin hosseini
undergraduate researcher
I am an undergraduate student pursuing a double major in Neuroscience and Computer Science. My primary interests lie in computational biology and the intersection of mathematics, statistics, and biology. I enjoy collecting biological data and engaging in tasks such as preprocessing, sorting, aligning, visualizing, and making predictions based on this data. Running every morning is my way of waking up—it’s my morning coffee. Additionally, I have a keen interest in studying psychology and exploring the effects of various medications on the brain and metabolic pathways.

mohammadamin tabari nia
undergraduate researcher
I am an undergraduate researcher at the University of Toronto Scarborough pursuing a double major in Human Biology and Population Health. My interests focus on plant immunity, particularly how receptor systems and regulatory networks enable plants to interpret and respond to environmental signals. Beyond the lab, working with plants reflects my appreciation for the beauty of nature and a connection to the natural world that is deeply tied to my heritage and continues to shape my motivation for biological research.
