Molecular Biology & Immunology Students’ Association (MIMSA)
UTSC
The Molecular Biology & Immunology Students’ Association (MIMSA) is a student-led organization supporting all students in the Molecular Biology, Immunology, and Disease Specialist or Major program, or taking courses in the field at the University of Toronto Scarborough. MIMSA’s goal is to foster student involvement beyond in-class learning, connect UTSC students with their peers and faculty at UTSC and UTSG, and provide keen and curious minds a platform to engage in scientific discussions while also building upon skills on how to effectively read scientific discourse, extrapolate and translate key information, make scientific concepts relevant to life beyond in-class learning, and effectively communicate scientific knowledge to others. MIMSA achieves this through undergraduate research seminars, faculty research seminars, educational events, and more.
