Funding for international education and research to Patrice Hamel

Patrice Hamel

Congratulations to Dr. Patrice Hamel who was recently awarded a Dean's Innovation Fund Global Initiatives Grant. This funding will help support and expand the STILSA (Students in Life Sciences Abroad) program, an umbrella initiative that supports mentored student research experiences abroad. . In 2023/24 six students took part in for-credit paid research opportunities in Norway and in France in the field of neuroscience, plant biology, genetics, systems biology, environmental science and RNA biology for periods ranging from 30-90 days. The new grant will allow Dr. Hamel to expand the program to serve additional undergraduates and additional host institutions, including sites in  Colombia, Spain, Belgium and the Caribbean.

We are so delighted that Patrice's outstanding passion has been recognized!
