Lawson Association of Fellows and Students

The Lawson Health Research Institute prides itself as being an International training centre for students: co-op, summer, pre-graduate, graduate, postdoctoral fellow and resident. The Lawson environment is unique for its first-class facilities, its location in an active biomedical research community and the pleasant surroundings of the City of London.

Presently, Lawson has over 300 trainees from all over the world and over 1,000 alumni. Each year, Lawson hosts an important event to help our young scientists develop the research presentation skills they will require for international careers in biomedical research. We make our students ready for the global workplace. We're proud to say that all of them continue to enhance the reputation of Lawson and The University of Western Ontario.

One of the most unique and outstanding attributes of Lawson is the existence of the Lawson Association of Fellows and Students (LAFS). This group, comprised of post-doctoral fellows, technicians and graduate students, plays an important role in the day to day operations of Lawson by ensuring an engaging research and academic setting, a political voice in the future direction of Lawson, and by providing social events for everyone within this extraordinary research environment.
