RESEARCH TEAM

Dynamic. Dedicated. Driven.

Our team is strongly committed to the principles of Equity, Diversity, and Inclusion (EDI). We strive to build and maintain an inclusive and equal-opportunity environment where members feel empowered to share their views and experiences. Training opportunities relating to inclusion and anti-racism, intercultural awareness, indigenous cultural safety, and employment equity are regularly circulated to the research team. Our goal is to train leaders in the field of immunology and EDI champions of tomorrow.
