\n\u201cWe are pleased to have two passionate communicators join our team. Ali brings a scientific background as well as social media and design experience to her role. She also has a keen interest in promoting equity, diversity and inclusion in science and research. Marie-Christine brings more than fifteen years of experience in public and government relations to the table,\u201d said Dr. Elizabeth Nanak, Executive Director at GlycoNet. \u201cWith their help, we will promote the cutting-edge work of our investigators and trainees and how it helps deliver solutions to important health issues and improve the lives of Canadians,\u201d she added.<\/span><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

She will implement the Network\u2019s communications strategy and help highlight the positive impact of GlycoNet\u2019s funded projects. She previously worked as scientist at an Edmonton-based biotechnology start-up where she led and promoted research projects that showed commercialization potential. In her spare time, she actively works with local community groups, supporting their communications and marketing priorities, to raise awareness of the need for more diversified representation in STEM (Science, Technology, Engineering, and Mathematics).<\/span><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n


\nHoule will take on a part-time role as Senior Communications Consultant. She started her career representing a Canadian non-governmental organization to the United Nations.
