Carleton appoints one new Canada Research Chair and renews three, backing research into metabolic disease, dementia resilience, biological data science and child/youth mental health, including a longitudinal study of 1,400 children and youth.
Carleton University announced one new Canada Research Chair and the renewal of three existing Chairs, strengthening campus research capacity. Jennifer Bruin becomes Canada Research Chair in Human Metabolic Disease; her laboratory investigates how environmental contaminants (including PFAS) and some pharmaceuticals damage insulin‑producing pancreatic cells and works with partners such as Health Canada and the Alberta Diabetes Institute. John Anderson’s renewal continues work on cognitive reserve and factors that delay dementia symptoms. Sanjeena Dang will advance statistical and machine‑learning methods for large, complex biological datasets. Maria Rogers leads a five‑year program on chronic school absenteeism, featuring a longitudinal cohort of 1,400 children and youth.
