Agron Plevneshi is a native of Albania and arrived

Agron received both his M.D. and Ph.D. in the Science

co-ordinating the shipment of isolates and blood samples from
all over Ontario and being a liaison with the Infection Control

In his previous roles, Agron has also been involved
with the TIBDN studies, and has created information content for
the department's website. Agron is also currently a member of
