The Drögemöller and Wright labs hosted a Precision Medicine Workshop in South Africa as a part of their Carnegie African Diaspora Fellowships
This workshop was made possible through funding from Stellenbosch University and the CADPF. The workshop provided an overview of current genomic analyses and resources of relevance to pharmacogenomics and precision medicine.
Congrats to Samah for being awarded a Rady Faculty of Health Sciences Graduate Studentship!
The first article from the Drögemöller Lab is out!
A great start to 2022, with the publication of our first article! Under the joint leadership of Danielle, MacKenzie and Sarah, we performed a systematic review and analysis of the current use of polygenic scores in pharmacogenomics
We have had a busy month of conferences!
Congrats to MacKenzie Wilke and Sarah Lyle for representing Canada at the Pharmacogenomics Global Research Network Meeting and both receiving top abstract awards! Also to MacKenzie for receiving a silver award in the Child Health Research Days Conference (MSc category).
Welcome to Bilal Cheema, who has joined the lab for a Honour's project, and Deanne Nixie Miao, who is working part-time as a technician in the lab!
After more than a year of working together virtually, the vaccinated Drögemöller Lab finally had the opportunity to celebrate in person!
It was great to have the Wright Lab join us!
The Drögemöller Lab is extremely thankful for support from various funding agencies!
In the last few months the Drögemöller Lab has received funding from CIHR (Operating Grant: Early Career Investigators in Maternal, Reproductive, Child & Youth Health); Research Manitoba (New Investigator Operating Grant) and the Health Sciences Centre Foundation (General Operating Grant). We appreciate your support!
Welcome to Samah Ahmed, who will be joining the lab as an MSc student!
Welcome to Urim Iyasere and Vaibhav, who will be joining the lab as summer students!
Congratulations to Sarah Lyle for completing her Genetics Honours project!
In addition to Sarah completing her Honours project focusing on the genetics of polycystic ovary syndrome, we are also thrilled that Sarah will be staying on in the lab as a Co-op student!
