After years of training and preparation for independent research, early career researchers nonetheless encounter a fair degree of uncertainty in preparation for life after training. Do our predoctoral and post-doctoral training programs truly prepare us for what lies ahead? Do I have the ability to “make it” in the academic world? Where should I focus my attention if I want to pursue an academic career? The purpose of this workshop is to demystify several core issues that likely play key roles in the uncertainties you have about life as an academic.

The Centre for Bioengingeering and Biotechnology is proud to showcase student research with our CBB Student Showcase series. Each student will be giving a 30 minute seminar that will include time for questions.
 

The Centre for Bioengineering and Biotechnology is pleased to present the innovative work of Professor Alexander Wong.

COVID-19 has brought disease and mortality at levels not seen from a respiratory virus for over 100 years. Immune responses to this virus, which can infect several different tissues, are poorly understood, including the role of antibodies in resolving the infection. In March 2020, we reoriented our lab to develop Enzyme-Linked ImmunoSorbent Assays (ELISA) for human antibody isotypes IgM, IgG and IgA produced in response to the SARS-CoV-2 spike protein. To date we have analyzed samples from 114 patients, including both PCR positive and PCR negative individuals.

Speaker: Carla Girolametto, Director of Innovation, Research and Clinical Trials at Grand River Hospital. 

This talk will focus on Ethics and Regulatory aspects of conducting research in a clinical setting with the involvement of Human Participants:  An interactive case study.
