The BC-CfE’s Rachel Miller, a master’s candidate working in the Molecular Epidemiology and Evolutionary Genetics group, is now a proud recipient of a Natural Sciences and Engineering Research Council (NSERC) CREATE scholarship. Miller is using this opportunity primarily to learn more about the SARS-CoV-2 pandemic.

BC-CfE PhD scholar Natalie Kinloch has written a paper calling for further improvements to a ‘game-changing’ molecular method used to measure the size of the intact HIV reservoir, the typically tiny and hard to find portion of the HIV reservoir capable of “waking up” to infect new cells in the body.
