  • Short description

    Hayder Hasan’s parents left Iraq because of war. He grew up in Libya, fled the war against Gaddafi, spent eighteen months in Egypt and moved to Toronto in 2013. At medical school in Cluj, he encountered the challenges of entering research as an international student, including language barriers, limited prior experience, and a limited professional network. His first research opportunity came through the University of Toronto. These experiences helped shape his interest in creating clearer pathways into research for fellow students.
