Student Presentations
The first step in many of the results highlighted in major science publications comes from a student's curiosity and their willingness to ask the question "why does this work this way?". These presentations will highlight key research being done by graduate students in the Regenerative Medicine course and its application to future regenerative medicine therapy.
Translational Lecture
Dr. Shaf Keshavjee is the Surgeon-in-Chief at University Health Network. He is the Director of the Toronto Lung Transplant Program at University Health Network and the Hospital for Sick Children. He is a Professor in the Division of Thoracic Surgery and the Institute of Biomaterials and Biomedical Engineering at the University of Toronto. Dr Keshavjee is a pioneer in transplantation therapy, having developed ways to preserve lungs safely for transplantation, he is currently discovering ways to rescue otherwise unsuitable donor lungs to save more lives. He and his team have developed strategies to diagnose, repair and regenerate donor lungs outside the body to improve the outcome after lung transplantation.
Career Mixer
A variety of individuals from academia, research, clinical, and industrial positions will be available for networking opportunities.
