"I've really enjoyed working with the ResearchNB team and the Health Research Week organizing committee over the past 2 years. Every month, we get together with several researchers, research professionals and students, and during these meetings, we get to know each other much better than in our usual functions or networking activities."
Caroline Jose, PhD
Researcher & Professor
“It has never been more obvious to me that our young scientists hold immense power to make New Brunswick a global leader in medical innovation and research. By networking and invaluable scientific discussions during this week, I was able to initiate new collaborations, which are growing and will result in further corporate work and co-supervision. I am proud to bring my research team to the upcoming 2023 Health Research Week, I want my students to integrate into this impactful scientific community.”
Anna Ignaszak, PhD
