Two faculty members at UBC’s School of Population and Public Health (SPPH) have been appointed as new Canada Research Chairs (CRC) in the latest round of appointments.

 

The CRC Program is designed to attract and retain some of the world’s most accomplished and promising minds at Canadian institutions.
