"Inflammatory memory: using ‘omics tools to illuminate new pathobiology in heart disease", Graeme Koelwyn, Assistant Professor, Faculty of Health Sciences, Simon Fraser University; Canada Research Chair Tier II in Public Health 'Omics in Exercise and Disease
Short Biography: Graeme Koelwyn is the Dr. James Hogg Chair in Public Health ‘Omics in Exercise and Disease at St Paul’s Hospital and an Assistant Professor in the Faculty of Health Sciences at Simon Fraser University in Vancouver, Canada. He received his PhD in Pathobiology and Translational Medicine at the NYU Grossman School of Medicine in 2019. He then completed his postdoctoral training at Memorial Sloan Kettering Cancer Center in New York City. He joined SFU and HLI in 2021. The overarching goal of the Koelwyn lab is to apply a translational, ‘omics-based approach for understanding how heart, lung and/or oncologic diseases communicate with each other through immune-specific mechanisms, leading to adverse systemic, tissue, and cellular responses. It also seeks to demonstrate how exercise – a low-cost public health strategy – can therapeutically improve immune function to protect from these diseases and their deleterious interactions.
