Lysa joined the laboratory of Dr. Isabelle Brunette, ophthalmologist and cornea researcher in the HMR’s university ophthalmology centre.

Thanks to the training she received there, she was able to deepen and consolidate her knowledge of corneal transplantation, while honing her scientific acumen. Meeting inspiring researchers was one of the highlights of her internship, and she credits it for motivating her to continue her studies. The internship gave Lysa an opportunity to present the findings of her work and to exchange ideas with the research community. Lysa’s immersion in clinical research exceeded her expectations! The overall experience reaffirmed her interest in ophthalmology while confirming her career choice and interest in practicing at HMR.
