Taylor S. Morriseau
Taylor S. Morriseau is a scientist at the University of Manitoba, where she is exploring how nutrients found in traditional Indigenous foods may prevent or delay the development of Type 2 diabetes among Manitoban Indigenous youth[1][2] Morriseau's research has been recognized by a Canadian Institutes of Health Research (CIHR) Vanier Canada Graduate Scholarship, and as one of Canada’s Most Powerful Women in 2019 by the Women’s Executive Network.[1][2][3][4] She has also been recognized as Corporate Knight's top 30 under 30 sustainability leaders in 2019, as one of the final 10 CBC Manitoba Future 40 finalists for 2017, and was appointed to the Chief Science Advisor's Youth Council in March 2020.[5][6][7]

Morriseau is a Cree woman from Peguis First Nations in Winnipeg.[1][2] In 2017, she completed her Bachelor of Science in Microbiology and Genetics.[1][6] She is currently a PhD student at the University of Manitoba, where she works out of the Children’s Hospital Research Institute of Manitoba.[2][5][3] Morriseau is investigating the HNF-1aG319S genetic variant using a mouse model, where one of her experiments involves exploring what effects a diet high in animal protein, fat and low carbohydrate (similar to that of an Oji-Cree diet) will have on the endocrine system.[2][5][3] This is relevant as the incidence of Type 2 diabetes is approximately 20 times higher among Manitoban Indigenous youth than the national average.[2]
Previously, Morriseau was selected as one of the Daughters of the Vote delegates in 2017, where she advocated for investments in Indigenous health at the Daughters of the Vote National Leadership Forum.[1][8] Morriseau has also spoken to the 2019 Parliamentary Health Research Caucus, and testified in the 2019 Youth Indigenize the Senate.[1][9] She has been involved with the Create H20 group, which is working towards providing safe drinking water for Indigenous communities, and advocated for the Mayor of Winnipeg to implement a youth council, which is now accepting applications.[8][9][10]
