Welcome to the Drögemöller Lab
Our lab focuses on using genomics and computational analyses to develop safer and more effective treatments
The Drögemöller Lab uses large-scale genomic and computational analyses to guide the development of novel treatment strategies that offer maximum benefit and minimal harm.
This research is focused specifically on vulnerable and understudied populations (e.g. pediatric and maternal populations) as therapeutic agents are often not designed and tested with these patients in mind.
Dr. Britt Drögemöller is an Assistant Professor in the Department of Biochemistry & Medical Genetics at the University of Manitoba. Dr. Drögemöller holds a Canada Research Chair in Pharmacogenomics and Precision Medicine and is appointed as a Research Scientist at The Children’s Hospital Foundation of Manitoba (CHRIM), an Adjunct Scientist at the CancerCare Manitoba Research Institute and a Research Affiliate at the Centre on Aging.
Awards:
We are so proud of Samah and Feryal for winning the MSc and undergrad categories!
Congrats to Alexandria for receiving an NSERC USRA and CHRIM Summer Studentship and Prats for receiving the Stem Cell Network and CHRIM Summer Studentships.
Together with co-PI, Galen Wright, we will be using these funds to explore neglected regions of the genome and their link to age-related hearing loss.
So proud of these two for presenting our work at the international congress of human genetics. Big congratulations to Samah who received presentation awards at the both the young researchers’ forum and the main conference!
but were happy to see that not even Winnipeg winters can keep a South African away from their braai!
