Delbert Yip’s homepage

Welcome to my homepage.

I am currently a medical student at the University of British Columbia in Vancouver, Canada. My inicipient interests in medicine currently include radiology and pediatrics, although these are highly variable. At the moment, I am using this site to record random thoughts and notes from my readings and studies. These can be accessed at ../posts/.

In the past, I completed a Master’s thesis on the kinetics of cardiac pacemaker channels [1-3], and I briefly supported a project on post-operative decline in children with severe neurological deficits [4].

When not studying or thinking about medicine and science, I enjoy learning Japanese, anime/manga, programming, piano, and exercise.
