KAMLOOPS — Genome BC has committed $250,000 dollars for a new opportunity at Thompson Rivers University.

The money will help create a Natural Sciences and Engineering Research Council Industrial Research Chair position.

“If I’m restoring a site near Kamloops, and my collaborator in Sudbury, ON is restoring a site there – are they reaching the same goals, and are there differences? If they are both successful we can gain a lot more information.” Said TRU Professor Dr. Lauchlan Fraser, who is a candidate for the chair. Dr. Fraser adds this would put TRU on par with scores of other research Universities across the country.
