In the Atrium of the Hospital for Sick Children, former Toronto Maple Leafs captain (and NHL Hall of Famer) Mats Sundin announced a further donation of $333,000 to support the Sundin Fellowship Program in Developmental Health between the University of Toronto and the Karolinska Institutet in Stockholm, Sweden. Mats also announced the search for the next Sundin Fellows. Ursula Nosi, a PhD student in the Department of Physiology, thanked Mats on behalf of the trainees. The Sundin Fellowship builds on a longstanding Exchange Program in Developmental and Perinatal Biology between the two Institutions. At the University of Toronto, the Sundin Fellowship Program and the Exchange Program are directed by Professor Stephen Matthews and hosted by the Department of Physiology.

This year, the annual international exchange program between the University of Toronto and the Karolinska Institutet will be held in Toronto between August 27th and 31st.
