    Pandemic Readiness and Response with Dr. Joanne Liu | STEMcast Season 2, Episode 1

    Having spent a lifetime dedicated to improving the health of those most in need, and having been chosen as one of TIME's 100 Most Influential People in 2015, few have shaped the public health landscape as profoundly as Dr. Joanne Liu. Dr. Liu is the former International President of Doctors without Borders, otherwise known as Médecins sans Frontières (MSF). She led the MSF from 2013-2019 and coordinated the organization's response to some of the world's major crises; from the Syrian civil war to the Ebola pandemic. She currently leads the Pandemic and Health Emergency Readiness Lab, and is a member of the United Nations' panel on evaluating the humanitarian response to the COVID-19 pandemic. She talks to us about coordinating MSF's front-line response to the Ebola pandemic, as well as her time on the ground in Syria during the nation's devastating civil war. We further discuss her role in responding to the current COVID-19 pandemic and her thoughts on the future of pandemic readiness.

    STEMcast Episode 12 | Dr. Howe: Surgeon-Scientist at the University of Toronto (MD)

    Kathryn completed her PhD at McMaster University in the Molecular Immunology, Virology and Inflammation program. Her thesis focused on determining the mechanism behind the beneficial role of TGF-beta on enhancing intestinal epithelial barrier function and protection from EHEC O157:H7 infection. Kathryn went to medical school at the University of Toronto and completed a post-doctoral fellowship at Sick Kids, publishing in several fields during this time, including infection and immunity in HIV, ethics and sustainability in global surgery, and ischemia-reperfusion. She has been awarded competitive Canadian Institutes of Health Research Fellowships and National scholarships throughout her research career. As part of her Vascular Surgery residency (McMaster), Kathryn completed a 3-month clinical and research fellowship at Stanford University and established her own bench research program investigating the role of endothelial microRNA in vascular disease. Kathryn was awarded FRCSC status in 2018 and will provide the full breadth of vascular surgery including endovascular and open aneurysm repair, carotid revascularization, critical limb ischemia, thoracic outlet syndrome, dialysis access, and venous disorders. Her clinical initiative is carotid revascularization and stroke prevention with multi-disciplinary team engagement to triage at-risk patients for early intervention, work that dovetails with Kathryn’s bench research program (see below).

    STEMcast Episode 10 | Dr. Bellemare: Research Scientist at Google (Brain Team)

    From Bellemare himself, "I lead the reinforcement learning efforts of the Google Research team in Montréal, Canada. I also supervise a number of graduate students at Mila, of which I am a core industry member. My research focuses on two complementary problems in reinforcement learning. First comes the problem of representation: How should a learning system structure and update its knowledge about the environment it operates in? The second problem is concerned with exploration: How should the same learning system organize its decisions to be maximally effective at discovering its environment, and in particular acquiring information to build better representations?"
