George Blackburn Research Mentorship Award Winner
Justine Turner, MBBS, FRACP, PhD, Professor, Division of Gastroenterology and Nutrition, Department of Pediatrics, University of Alberta, Edmonton, Canada.
"I am extremely honored to be receiving the George Blackburn Research Mentorship award for 2022. Above all things, I value the mentorship I received in my own career, notably from Professor David Forbes (Australia) and Professor
Paul Pencharz (Canada). Having had the benefit of such mentorship, it is both my duty and pleasure to foster in the next generation—to instill in them a passion for nutrition, metabolism, and discovery, and to teach them the
tools
necessary to do nutrition research well."
