Our Research Council

The Dalhousie Medicine New Brunswick (DMNB) Research Council provides strategic leadership, coordination, and oversight for research activities at DMNB. The Council strengthens collaboration across the Discovery Science, Population Health and Policy, and Clinical and Educational Research Groups, ensuring alignment with the Faculty of Medicine and provincial and national partners. It serves as DMNB’s central forum for strategic research planning, research culture development, and integrative decision-making. Our three Research Groups support medical research and education with a diverse range in areas of interest and fostering community partnerships.

Discovery Science Research Group

Co-chaired by Drs Keith Brunt and Petra Kienesberger, this group supports our local researchers who study discovery and biomedical science to advance our understanding of biology and disease of animal and human health.

Clinical and Educational Research Group

Co-chaired by Drs. Pamela Jarrett and Julie Easley, this group brings together  researchers interested in advancing clinical care, health outcomes, and medical education.

We also support clinicians and clinical researchers who are involved in mentoring students, residents, and fellows, and welcome those engaged in Quality Improvement research and practice.
