Sophia Lagrotteria was already inspired to go into medicine by her father, Dr. Danny Lagrotteria, but the chance to support healthcare research at the Niagara Health Knowledge Institute has exposed her to other key opportunities in the field.
The quintet of researchers, including Niagara Health Knowledge Institute Executive Director and Chief Scientist Dr. Jennifer Tsang, will teach Applied Qualitative Research Methods in Health at McMaster University and further establish the NHKI as a key player in qualitative health research.
