Maha Othman, Co-Chairman SSC on Disseminated intravascular coagulopathy at International Society on Thrombosis and Haemostasis, shared a post on LinkedIn:
“Pleasure attending and participating in SORB;
Southern Ontario Reproductive Biology– An excellent research day at Queen’s University and Queen’s University School of Medicine May 6, 2026
Highlights:
Powerful keynote talk by an amazing clinician scientist Graeme Smith -a long standing impactful clinical and research journey with some words resonating with me ‘Clinicians serve their own patients … Researchers serve all patients’
I had the pleasure of chairing a session for 3 excellent oral presentations and 4 innovative flash talk orals spanning diverse research from IVF, fertility, protein dysfunction in preeclampsia, data driven bovine speed sexing, platelet dysfunction and placental structure, enhancing medical education.
Particularly proud of my brilliant students and trainees who presented and proud of the research we generate at our labs St. Lawrence College and Queen’s University
- Moustapha Alayan Poster
Coagulation dynamics in COVID-19 pregnancy at delivery and postpartum - Vrisha Shah Oral flesh talk
Platelet dysfunction impacting placental structure - Thomas Kazmirchuk Oral
Innovative peptide design and potential application in preeclampsia - Also George Ilbawi Member of the conference organizing team
The research presented has had lovely contributions from many others of my trainees:
Caroline Mwubaha Maica Jhiezl Yunon Yousra Tera Aditi Kini , Faith Whitehead Ahmad Yaseen
Great to welcome formally a new mentee Janice Corbette from Carleton University to our research group
And also Fariya Zaheer Queens Med student as our summer student!
Lovely to meet established researchers in the field such as Deborah Sloboda and start new exciting collaborations!
The breadth of interdisciplinary and translational science presented reflects the exciting future of reproductive and maternal-fetal health research. Grateful for the engaging discussions and the opportunity to support these talented trainees and investigators.
Huge congratulations to Dave Natale and Tiziana Cotechini for putting together and leading such an outstanding day!
See you Western University in 2027!”
