Leonard Tse - Now a Physician-Scientist at Toronto General Hospital
M.D. (Toronto), M.A.Sc. (2010)

Leonard recently obtained his M.A.Sc. under the supervision of Professor Cristina Amon through the Institute of Biomaterials and Biomedical Engineering at the University of Toronto. Leonard joined the ATOMS lab when he decided to complement his clinical practice with more robust training in engineering methodology in order to continue his research in advanced endovascular techniques.

He is progressively advancing his career as a physician-scientist. He continues to practice vascular surgery as a staff surgeon with the Division of Vascular Surgery of the Peter Munk Cardiovascular Centre at the Toronto General Hospital of the University Health Network.
