Research chair winner mentors next generation of geneticists

Academic peers applaud geneticist David Baillie for his unparalleled success in motivating and training young scientists. With his recent appointment to a $200,000 per annum Canada Research Chair (one of eight chairs valued at more than $9 million so far at SFU), Baillie will now be able to share his teaching duties with a promising junior scientist, while continuing to research how genes function and cause diseases in humans.
