Javairia Rahim
Javairia Rahim is a MSc candidate in Dr. Jonathan Choy’s Lab at Simon Fraser University studying the role of Cell Surface Engineering in the prevention of transplant rejection. She has been a CDTRP member since Summer 2021 and is also a member of the Society of Women in Science and Technology (SCWIST).
This session will highlight the most innovative studies our trainees are working on across the themes. Chelsea Lanos, representing themes 1 and 2, will present her project "Organ donation after out-of-hospital cardiac arrest in Canada: a missed opportunity for uDCD?". For theme 3, we have Shiyuan Bian presenting "Investigating the Effect of Mechanical Ventilation on Mouse Lung Scaffolds using a Negative Pressure Wet Ventilation System" and Aisha Adil presenting "Ex Vivo Perfusion De- and Recellularization of Rat Hindlimbs for Vascular Composite Allotransplantation." Javairia Rahim will cover theme 4 with her project "Novel cell surface engineering of the endothelial glycocalyx with sialic acid-containing polymers for the prevention of transplant rejection." Finally, Nicholas Bourgeois will present "Virtual pre-habilitation program in lung transplant candidates" for theme 5. Each of these students will be awarded a prize highlighting their excellent work.
