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!

To celebrate everyone's hard work over the last couple of months we took part in a Heist
Thanks to some very clever people in the lab, we successfully completed this escape room game (despite “helpful” contributions from the PI)
