Elena Kuzmin becomes the first Concordia researcher to be named to the Global Young Academy
“Elena Kuzmin, assistant professor of biology and Canada Research Chair in Synthetic and Functional Genomics, has been named a member of the Global Young Academy (GYA) — a first for Concordia.
The GYA, an international network of early-career researchers, recognizes outstanding scientists and provides a platform for global collaboration on key research and policy issues. Membership is highly competitive, with only a select number of scholars admitted each year.
Kuzmin says she is honoured to join this prestigious community: “Being part of the Global Young Academy is an incredible opportunity to contribute to international discussions on science and research while collaborating with top scholars from around the world.”
For Tim Evans, vice-president of research, innovation and impact at Concordia, Kuzmin’s membership in the GYA is a proud milestone for the university.
“Elena’s groundbreaking work in functional genomics exemplifies the kind of research that drives impact. She richly deserves this recognition, and I am sure this opportunity to connect with the best and brightest researchers in the world will greatly complement her work,” he says.”
