Dana is a coordinator for the Mitochondrial Innovation Initiative (MITO2i), a strategic initiative from the University of Toronto. She recently received an Honours Bachelor of Science from the Department of Pharmacology and Toxicology at U of T. Dana joined MITO2i with the goal of developing a white paper on brain active drugs and their role in mitochondrial disease. Her work serves as the basis for the creation of the Brain and Mitochondrial Initiative which focuses on the unmet need to understand the relationship between mitochondrial diseases, mitochondrial dysfunction and neuropsychiatric diseases. Dana is now applying her pharmacology knowledge toward the development of a task force focused on equitable access to natural health products across Canada.
