Her work was recognized nationally when she placed first at the 2009 Canada-Wide Science Fair. Perri continues to research at the University of British Columbia where she investigates the role of hormones in auto-immune disorders through the use of transgenic models. Perri’s knowledge of illness and disease extends far beyond the laboratory.
