Nathan Ni, PhD

Nathan Ni earned a PhD in Physiology from Queen's University in 2013, where he investigated the role of inflammatory leukotriene pathways in myocardial infarction. He then underwent a two-year postdoctoral training stint at Toronto's University Health Network, where he looked at the effects of aging on stem cell effectiveness. Nathan joined The Scientist’s Creative Services Team in December 2016 and is currently an Associate Science Editor.
