Congratulations to postdoctoral fellows, Dr. Cameron Gee and Dr. Leili Ghazi Zadeh, on their winning research poster presentations!
The ICORD Symposium is an annual event organized by the trainees at International Collaboration on Repair Discoveries (ICORD) to promote and celebrate the research being conducted in the facility. The conference was held online for the second year in 2021 with invited speakers from Canada and worldwide as well as talks by ICORD Principal Investigators.
The International Spinal Cord Society (ISCoS) Conference is a four-day online symposium featuring world-leading keynote speakers focusing on spinal cord injury research. The society celebrated 60 years in 2021.
Cameron Gee
Dr. Cameron Gee won first place in the Postdoctoral Fellow category at the ICORD Trainee Symposium held September 24, 2021 for his poster presentation titled Describing pressure variability in acute SCI—a week later he was presented with an ISCoS Post Doctoral Fellow Award for the same poster presentation.
Dr. Gee is a Postdoctoral Fellow at the UBC Department of Orthopaedics with supervisor Dr. Brian Kwon. His PhD in Kinesiology from UBC delved into how the heart and lungs interact in individuals with tetraplegia.
I would like to acknowledge Brian Kwon and my co-authors (Angela Tsang, Lise Belanger, and Leanna Ritche) who were responsible for collecting the data that presented.
