On the new season, “Without further ado,” we introduce some of the new people from UTM’s vibrant and ever-growing research community.
And so, what is a Senior Research Associate?
At their core, they are educators and academics in their own right, with established programs of research and expertise in their respective disciplines – in this case, cellular neurobiology, visual culture, biophysics, and plant physiology.
In addition to that, UTM’s Senior Research Associates, also known as SRAs, oversee what we call our Core Facilities, which includes the Imaging Facility in the Davis Building, the Collaborative Digital Research Space (or CDRS) in Maanjiwe nendamowinan, the Nuclear Magnetic Resonance (NMR) Facility in the Davis Building, as well as the Growth Facilities that are located in Davis and in the greenhouse on Outer Circle Road.
Over the course of this interview, Katie, Elizabeth, Dmitry, and Vera talk about their respective research paths, how they consolidate, collaborate, and help the research community at UTM and beyond, and what they hope to accomplish in their roles as SRAs now and in the future of research and relationship building across the disciplines.
