Dear Symposium Attendees,

It is with great pleasure that the Infectious Diseases andImmunity in Global Health Program (IDIGH) of the ResearchInstitute of the McGill University Health Centre (RI-MUHC)welcomes you to join its fifth annual Symposium.

The objective of the IDIGH Symposium is to provide a platformfor all participants to interact and exchange research ideas inthe area of infectious diseases, immunity and global health.Each year the symposium brings together approximately 250attendees from more than 40 different academic researchdepartments, centers and institutions or companies. They aregraduate students, established researchers, highly qualifiedresearch professionals or representatives of companies thatprovide a broad range of lab equipment, drugs, chemicals, newtechnologies and services. The synergies emerging from oursymposium lead to innovative new collaborations not onlyamong the RI-MUHC/McGill groups but also in the largerCanadian and international Global Health communities. Thisecosystem contributes to the training of our students who willconstitute the workforce of tomorrow.

The 2019 IDIGH Symposium is focusing on translationalresearch across the life span. We are grateful for theparticipation of our guest speakers who are leading experts inthe fields of parasitology (Dr. Kevin Kain), HIV and clinical trials(Dr. Sharon Walmsley), susceptibility and immune responsesto sexually transmitted viruses (Dr. Charu Kaushic) andmolecular mechanisms of autoimmune diseases (Dr. KatherineSiminovitch). We are looking forward to learning about thelatest results of their cutting-edge research and are enthusiasticto learn from their valuable experience.

IDIGHProgram

The Infectious Diseases and Immunity in Global Health (IDIGH)program is comprised of 60 fundamental research scientistsand clinicians who jointly tackle infectious and immune-mediated diseases of global importance and are affiliated withfour centres: Centre for Translational Biology, Centre for HealthOutcomes Research, Centre for Innovative Medicine and McGill.

The program focuses on 5 major research areas based onsocietal need, economic opportunity and expertise of IDIGHmembers: respiratory infections (tuberculosis and influenza);viral infections (HIV, Hepatitis B and C virus); allergy, auto-immunity and immune regulation in health and disease(systemic lupus erythematosus, rheumatoid arthritis, foodallergy, dermatitis); fungal and bacterial infections and immuneimpaired patients (aspergillosis, candidiasis, pseudomonas, CF);and global and neglected infectious diseases (malaria, leprosy,leishmaniasis, helminthiasis).

The program acts as catalyst for multidisciplinary interactionsand puts emphasis on translational objectives. This approachtaken by the IDIGH program allows it to have a global impactin the improvement of patient care and health policies forinfectious and immune-mediated diseases.

Keynote SpeakersDr. Kevin Kain

Canada Research Chair in Molecular Parasitology.

Professor of Medicine, University of Toronto.

Science Director, Tropical Disease Unit, Toronto GeneralHospital–University Health Network.

Director, SA Rotman Laboratories, Sandra Rotman Centre for GlobalHealth.

Dr. Kain’s research career began with the Walter Reed ArmyInstitute of Research (WRAIR) working on the 1st generationof malaria vaccines including the 1st field trials (Thai-Cambodianborder). His efforts now focus on the pathobiology of life-threatening infections in order to develop new diagnostics andinterventions to improve outcomes. Dr Kain’s efforts are alsofocused on global maternal and child health, gender equality,knowledge sharing and education, including the transfer ofappropriate technologies and the training of scientists in thedeveloping world, enabling and empowering them to addresstheir own problems in a sustainable fashion. He operates multipleglobal research projects including projects in Mozambique,Malawi, Uganda, Tanzania, Colombia, Thailand, and Vietnam.

In December 2017 he was invited to speak at the White Houseon the emergence of an alarming multi-drug resistant strainof malaria and it’s implications for US foreign policy and USmulti-nationals. He has also served as a consultant to manyorganizations including the Gates Foundation, Red Cross, PATH,US Department of Defense, and the CDC.

Keynote SpeakersDr. Sharon Walmsley

University Health Network, University of Toronto

Toronto General Hospital Research Institute, University of Toronto

Dr. Walmsley is the Director of the Immunodeficiency Clinic,Toronto Hospital, University Health Network and a Professor,University of Toronto Department of Medicine. She is a SeniorScientist at the Toronto General Hospital Research Instituteand the Co-Chair of the CIHR-Canadian HIV Trials Network.

She is actively involved in the design, conduct and analysis ofmany clinical trials, including trials in HIV therapy; prophylaxisand treatment of opportunistic infections, and managementof the complications of treatment. She has had a longstandingand strong interest in gender differences in HIV in women.She has been an advocate of gender specific analysis of clinicaltrials of antiretroviral therapy.

She holds numerous peer-reviewed publications and researchawards related to clinical trials in HIV. She is the recipient ofa Chair in HIV Clinical Management and Aging from the OntarioHIV Treatment Network. In June 2017, she was appointed as aMember of the Order of Canada contributions in HIV Researchespecially related to advancing therapy for women, andmentoring young female investigators.

Keynote SpeakersDr. Charu Kaushic

Dr. Siminovitch’s research program is directed at identifyingthe molecular factors which regulate normal immune responsesand, when disrupted, result in immune deficiency or autoimmunediseases such as rheumatoid arthritis, granulomatosis withpolyangiitis and other autoimmune inflammatory conditions.Using both basic research tools and clinical sample sets, Dr.Siminovitch has made many seminal contributions to definingthe genetic variants predisposing to these diseases and themolecular pathways which couple these lesions to celldysfunction and disease. Over the past few years, she hasinitiated a personalized healthcare platform at MSH, aimed atintegrating advanced molecular information with clinical dataso as to identify gene variants influencing disease risk andgenetic/immunologic predictors of disease course and treatmentresponses.

Dr. Siminovitch has been elected as a Fellow of the Royal Societyof Canada, the American Association of Physicians and theCanadian Academy of Health Sciences and she holds a CanadaResearch Chair in Immunogenomics.
