Congratulations to Dr. Carla Coffin on her appointment as the Cal Wenzel Family Foundation Chair in Hepatology.
Since 2010, this endowed chair has helped advance Alberta’s world-class hepatology research program through stable, long-term funding.
Our researchers, led by Dr. @BraedonMcdonald, have developed ONTime, a new cost-effective bedside test that rapidly analyzes a patient’s microbiome to identify missing protective bacteria before infection takes hold.
