During her residency, Dr. Simonett also completed a Masters Degree in Health Sciences with a focus on clinical epidemiology. Her main research interest is in spinal cord injury related pain. Dr. Simonett says it was the research focus at DCNS that piqued her interest in making the move east to Calgary. “The set-up here for support in research and education was very appealing to me as someone who is still in the early stages of my career,” she says.

Dr. Nathalie Jette gives "Eyes High on Research" lecture
|
Dr. Nathalie Jette knew from the time she was three years old that she wanted to be a doctor. When her grandmother developed Alzheimer’s disease when she was a young girl, her next goal was to find a cure for it. Eventually, her research into Alzheimer’s disease led her to working in Dr. Margaret Fahnestock’s laboratory at McMaster University where she developed an interest in epilepsy. Dr. Jette shared this insight into her career as part of the Eyes High on Research lecture series at The University of Calgary on April 5th. Jette’s talk emphasized the importance for research to lead to direct application. She says the Goethe quote, “Knowing is not enough; we must apply. Willing is not enough; we must do,” serves as an inspiration to her. More |
