Leighton Schreyer recently received his Bachelor of Science, Honors Specialization in Neuroscience from Western University, and is now a first year medical student at the University of Toronto. During his undergraduate studies, Schreyer worked under the supervision of Dr. Craig Campbell to investigate the role of epigenetics in neuromuscular disease. Schreyer is currently interested in pursuing a career as a clinician scientist, where he hopes to combine his passions for health and social justice to explore the social determinants of health and health inequalities, and work with vulnerable communities to spearhead positive, transformational change.
