Marina Ulanova, MD, PhDPrincipal InvestigatorFull Professor at the Northern Ontario School of Medicine
Her research aims at understanding reasons behind increased susceptibility to infections in certain population groups and prevention of severe bacterial infections. Dr. Ulanova has published over 90 peer reviewed papers and made over 120 presentations at conferences, external seminars and workshops (over 40 as invited speaker). She holds research grants awarded by the Canadian Immunization Research Network, NSERC, and Pfizer as Principal Investigator, and is a Co-Investigator on 3 NOAMA grants. |
