DR. RODNEY OUELLETTE, PRESIDENT AND SCIENTIFIC DIRECTOR
As founding Scientific Director, Dr Ouellette has assembled a multi-disciplinary team of dedicated scientists. Under his leadership, ACRI has become a premier research facility in Atlantic Canada, with a growing team of 40 people, and has been awarded more than $28 million in research funding.
Dr Ouellette received both his MD and PhD (Molecular and Cellular Biology) degree from Université Laval in 1996. He then completed his residency certification at the Université de Sherbrooke in 1998. He is currently associate professor of medicine at Université Laval and associate professor of biochemistry at Université de Moncton, University of NB and l'Université de Sherbrooke. He is a Board member of the New Brunswick Health Research Foundation, the New Brunswick Medical Society, the New Brunswick Innovation Foundation and the Beatrice Hunter Cancer Research Institute. Dr. Ouellette has also been active on many national bodies.
In addition to being actively involved in cancer research initiatives and forging strategic partnerships Dr. Ouellette has published a number of scientific papers and articles.
