We closed out a productive summer with our summer lab social. It was a wonderful opportunity to celebrate the team’s achievements, strengthen connections, and reflect on our work. We are grateful for the chance to gather and unwind.
Looking forward to continuing this tradition in the seasons ahead!

BC Children’s Hospital Research Institute Summer Student Research Program and Poster Day
This summer, members of our team took part in the BC Children’s Hospital Research Institute Summer Student Program, where they gained hands-on research experience and contributed to on-going projects in child health.
We were thrilled to celebrate their achievements during Poster Day, where trainees showcased the results of their summer research to peers, faculty, and staff. A big congratulations to Lara, Gabi, and Lauren for their hard work, dedication, and thoughtful contributions to our lab’s work over the summer!
You can learn more about their projects in the program’s abstract book here.
