Sarasa Tohyama
Sarasa is a medical student at the University of Toronto. Prior to medical school, she completed a postdoctoral research fellowship at the Martinos Center for Biomedical Imaging at Massachusetts General Hospital/Harvard Medical School. There, she investigated brain mechanisms underlying chronic pain and patient responses to multimodal, non-pharmacological treatments using neuroimaging techniques such as DTI, fMRI, and PET.
Sarasa obtained her PhD in Medical Science at the University of Toronto in the Hodaie Lab and is excited to return in a new capacity. Her current research focuses on leveraging diffusion MRI and tractography to evaluate peripheral nerve sheath tumor subtypes and their relationship to surrounding nerves, with the goal of informing and improving surgical decision-making.
