Magnotta Foundation for Vector-Borne Diseases’, http://www.gmagnottafoundation.com/, a non-profit organization with the primary mission of helping to establish Canada’s first research facility for Lyme disease that will lead to better testing and treatment for Canadians. Throughout her remarkable career, she has received many honors and awards of distinction.
