Dr. Greiver comes to the role after more than 15 years of experience with PBRNs. She was a founding member and then lead of the North Toronto Research Network (NorTReN). NorTReN was initiated under the leadership of past DFCM Chair Dr. Walter Rosser and was a precursor for UTOPIAN.  Dr. Greiver then worked with Drs. Lynn Wilson, Eva Grunfeld and David White on the initial development and successful launch of UTOPIAN.  She became Deputy Director of UTOPIAN in July 2016 and then Acting Director upon the departure of Dr. Frank Sullivan, inaugural Cheesbrough Chair and immediate past UTOPIAN Director, in April 2017.
