Congratulations Dr. Marie-Jos\u00e9e H\u00e9bert \u2013 Appointment Chair of the CIHR Governing Council<\/strong><\/h4>\n

We are thrilled to share that Dr. Marie-Jos\u00e9e H\u00e9bert has been appointed Chair of Governing Council of CIHR<\/a><\/strong>. The Governing Council has the highest oversight role for the organization, including among its roles developing CIHR\u2019s strategic directions, goals, and policies and overseeing the Institutes. The CDTRP is exceptionally proud of Marie-Jos\u00e9e and this great honour that recognizes her visionary leadership.<\/p>\n

As a clinician-scientist, transplant nephrologist, and exceptional basic scientist, she is the founding Scientific Co-Director of the Canadian Donation and Transplantation Research Program (CDTRP), created in 2013. Bringing together the Canadian donation, solid organ transplant, and hematopoietic stem cell transplant research communities with dozens of partners across sectors and disciplines, alongside patients, families, and donors, the CDTRP created a new national framework for collaboration and team science.<\/p>\n<\/div>

The CDTRP, from its inception, has endeavored to build a new table for donation and transplantation research with a framework that enables collaboration and transdisciplinarity. At the time of the CDTRP\u2019s inception, there were many doubters that one could do more than divide a pie of grant funding. Ten years later, we have demonstrated what can be achieved by valuing non-traditional career paths to research, valuing patient and family voices, and elevating women in science. Marie-Jos\u00e9e\u2019s leadership has been transformative for donation and transplantation research in Canada.<\/p>\n

Dr. Marie-Jos\u00e9e H\u00e9bert earned a specialized degree in nephrology at the Universit\u00e9 de Montr\u00e9al, followed by postdoctoral studies at Brigham and Women\u2019s Hospital, Harvard. Since 1998, she has been a Professor of Medicine at Universit\u00e9 de Montr\u00e9al (UdeM), researcher at the CHUM research centre, and nephrologist\u2013transplant physician at CHUM. She co-holds the Shire Chair in Nephrology, Renal Transplantation and Regeneration at UdeM. Her laboratory focuses on the role of programmed cell death as a major pathway contributing to immune dysregulation, rejection and abnormal vascular repair. Findings from her team have led to the characterization of new mediators of rejection and renal failure in humans. They also contributed to a better understanding of the mechanisms of fibrogenesis triggered by endothelial injury, autophagy and apoptosis. Fellow in the Canadian Academy of Health Sciences, Marie-Jos\u00e9e H\u00e9bert received the Dr. John B. Dossetor Research Award (2015) and the Medal for Research Excellence (2016) from the Kidney Foundation of Canada. In 2017, she was named scientist of the year by the newspaper La Presse. As Vice-Rector of Research, Discovery, Creation and Innovation at the Universit\u00e9 de Montr\u00e9al since 2015, she has played a leading role in the development of major interdisciplinary research initiatives, including the launch of IVADO \u2013 Institute for Data Valorization, Mila \u2013 Quebec Artificial Intelligence Institute, the Digital Health Consortium and the Montreal Declaration for the Responsible Development of Artificial Intelligence.<\/em><\/p>\n<\/div>
