Education

Rozen received her PhD from McGill University (Montreal, Canada) and pursued postdoctoral training at McGill University and Yale University.

Research career

Rozen became an assistant professor in the Human Genetics and Pediatrics Departments at McGill in 1984, and set up her research program on genetics and metabolic disease. In 1985, Rozen established the Molecular Genetics Diagnosis Service at the McGill-Montreal Children's Hospital, the first accredited molecular diagnosis service in Quebec, and continued to direct this service until 2002. In 1990, she became a Fellow of the Canadian College of Medical Geneticists, certified in molecular genetics. From 1999 to 2007, Rozen served as scientific director of the Montreal Children's Hospital and deputy scientific director of the McGill University Health Centre.[2] She was also associate vice-principal (research and international relations) at McGill University from 2007 to 2013. During this time she continued to also work on her research interests.[2]

Currently, Rozen is a James McGill Professor of Human Genetics and Pediatrics.[2] In addition, she sits on the advisory board for the Institute of Genetics of the Canadian Institutes of Health Research (CIHR).[3]

Rozen has published over 180 papers and has received several awards for her research, including the Prix d'Excellence for pediatric research from the Inter-Service Clubs Council of Quebec, the Prix Léo-Pariseau from the association canadienne-francaise pour l'avancement des sciences, and the CIHR Senior Scientist Award.

Awards and honours

She was elected as a member for the European Academy of Sciences in 2003.[4]

gollark: Hmm. That's annoying, then. I'll just have to wait a bit or try and dredge up some old Android device which mostly fits my criteria.
gollark: Apologies if it's already been mentioned a lot, but my phone's (nonreplaceable) battery is degrading beyond the point of usefulness, so I probably need to replace it soon, and it seems that I can't really get other devices with replaceable batteries. So anyway:- can I get a PinePhone in the UK, ideally without horrible shipping cost and within... a month or so? If so, how/where?- how is the support if the hardware breaks somehow?- is it at least usable enough that I can use it for phone calls/SMS/web browsing reasonably reliably?
gollark: Activating orbital lasers.
gollark: I'm kind of expecting phone docks to replace laptops and desktops for a lot of users in the next decade.
gollark: I could probably cobble together something which works for running stuff based on a unit-file-type thing, but it would not be very good and just add to the xkcd.com/927/ situation.
