PRIME Team

The Skidmore Goodman Perinatal Research IMaging and Evaluation (PRIME) Centre proudly recognizes the outstanding contributions and visionary leadership of our previous PRIME leads. Dr. Denise Pugash, who served from 2015 to 2022, was instrumental in bringing our facility to life through her innovative vision and the successful attainment of the CFI award. We also extend our appreciation to Dr. Chantal Mayer, who stepped in as Interim PRIME Lead from April 2022 to December 2023, for her invaluable contributions and steadfast leadership.
