UBC’s Division of Hematology and Centre for Blood Research are grateful to Pfizer Canada for their generous gift of $174,000 to support the Thrombosis Research Fellowship Program. Under the leadership of CBR member, Dr. Agnes Lee, the Thrombosis Clinic at VGH sees more than 850 patients annually for blood clotting conditions, serves as an education facility for students and residents in thrombosis, and conducts innovative research. The fellowship – the first of its kind in BC – is a two-year intensive program which offers training in clinical and laboratory thrombosis, a Masters in Clinical Epidemiology on research methodology, and “hands on” experience conducting clinical trials. This marks a significant milestone for research and education at UBC.
