Two University of Waterloo co-op students, Murto Hilali and Kritika Grover, contributed to a cerebral palsy study published in Nature Genetics.

Their research at SickKids Research Institute involved using the AlphaFold AI to understand cerebral palsy's genetic architecture.

The study's findings could hasten drug discovery and benefit individuals living with cerebral palsy.

The students acknowledged the Scherer Academic Lab at SickKids for providing significant research opportunities during their co-op term.

The success of the co-op students is presented as an endorsement of the University of Waterloo's co-op program in the Faculty of Science.
