Maha Othman: Students Bringing Biomedical Chemistry to Life Through a Mini Symposium
Maha Othman, Research Co-Lead at the CanVECTOR Research Network and Co-Chair of the SSC on Disseminated Intravascular Coagulation at the International Society on Thrombosis and Haemostasis (ISTH), shared a post on LinkedIn:
”Chemistry and biochemistry have always been among the more challenging university courses. But when these disciplines are taught through the lens of Biomedical Chemistry and Laboratory Diagnostics, the complexity deepens-bridging foundational science with real clinical application.
And yet, my Year 2 BScN students St. Lawrence College rose to the challenge.
Through a Mini-Symposium, they brought this demanding science to life in a real-world, conference-style experience. Working in teams, they developed scientific posters translating complex biochemical concepts into meaningful clinical and laboratory insights—demonstrating how core science informs patient care.
A sincere thank you to Upper-year student course mentors Jordan Harry Jayan Anpalahan Makenna Marlow, guest Ty Conlin who served as judges, and to peers whose evaluations fostered collaboration, critical thinking, and engagement.
I am incredibly proud of these students. They showed not only strong scientific understanding, but also the confidence to communicate their work—an essential skill for future nursing professionals.
Hosted at the Innovation Hub on the Kingston campus, this event reflects St. Lawrence College commitment to experiential, student-centred learning, where students move beyond theory to application.
Moments like these remind us that when students are given the opportunity and mentored, they don’t just learn science-they live it, apply it, and elevate it.”
