Biomedical Communications

My name is Shehryar (Shay) Saharan and I am proud to be a recent graduate of the Master of Science in Biomedical Communication (MScBMC) program at the University of Toronto. Throughout my graduate studies, I had the opportunity to refine my skills in visual media, design, and storytelling, which led me to establish an award-winning scientific visualization and design studio, ss design studio Inc. Since graduating, I have had the privilege of collaborating with renowned organizations such as Digizyme, Boston Scientific, and Switch Health to communicate complex science in a compelling and accessible manner. In addition to my entrepreneurial ventures, I hold a contractually limited term appointment as assistant professor in the MScBMC program, and I have embarked on a PhD journey to further research in scientific visualization as applied to engineering education.

For prospective students who possess a keen interest in the convergence of science, design, and visual art, I wholeheartedly endorse the MScBMC program. Although it demands a high level of dedication, commitment and initiative, the rewards are immeasurable. The program boasts an exceptional faculty who not only serve as remarkable mentors, but who also guide students to delve deep into their skills, fostering exploration and mastery. Through this program, aspiring biomedical communication specialists are equipped with the necessary tools to excel in their future roles, all while cultivating a sense of passion and purpose for their craft.
