As the CDTRP 10th Annual Scientific Meeting approaches, we are thrilled to introduce one of our Co-Chairs – Dr. Siba Haykal<\/strong>. Dr. Haykal is an Assistant Professor at the University of Toronto and a plastic and reconstructive surgeon who also serves as a surgeon-scientist at the University Health Network. Co-chairing the Annual Scientific Meeting is an exceptional opportunity for her to engage with a diverse range of individuals and build collaborative relationships within the transplant community. Her responsibilities include identifying critical topics and speakers, creating captivating sessions, and ensuring the event runs smoothly, with the help of the planning committee. Recently, we had the chance to speak with her about her role as co-chair and her passion for research.<\/p>\n<\/div>

I am a plastic and reconstructive surgeon, a surgeon-scientist at the University Health Network and an Assistant professor at the University of Toronto. My research focuses on themes related to vascularized composite allotransplantation including strategies to decrease immunosuppression and mitigate ischemia reperfusion injury. Specifically, we are looking at establishing tissue-engineered scaffolds with pluripotent stem cells.<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n

What do you appreciate the most about CDTRP?<\/strong><\/h6>\n
\n

The diversity within the CDTRP has been great. Its members come from different backgrounds which makes the group very interesting. I have been able to meet people from across the country. It is a great way to network and to forge relationships ad collaborations.<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n
