Rebecca Jantzen

Rebecca has a background in human molecular genetics and was previously a Clinical Research Project Coordinator at the Hospital for Sick Children (Toronto), where she worked with children being assessed for ADHD and neurodevelopmental disorders.

Rebecca has received clinical research training from the CANTRAIN national clinical trials training platform and is grateful to be a member of two CAN TAP TALENT ECHO communities of practice: Clinical Research Professionals and Clinical Trialists. In 2025, Rebecca had the privilege of receiving a CAN TAP TALENT Clinical Research Professional Internship Award to support clinical trials education and mentorship from the Active Aging Research Team at UBC in the area of implementation and scale-up science.

Rebecca was born in Victoria but spent much of her childhood in Uganda. When she's not at UVic, you can find her exploring playgrounds all over Victoria with her three kids, experimenting with new child-friendly gluten-free recipes, or trying STEM-based crafts and activities.
