Dorsa Moezzi

Biography

I moved to Calgary when I was in grade 9, and since then, I have been obsessed with the Rocky Mountains. I completed my BSc in Cellular, Molecular, and Microbial Biology at the University of Calgary. I joined the Yong lab because I have always had a passion for learning more about MS and working in this field. When I am not at school or in the lab, I love shopping, boxing, and skiing.
