A Feb. 4 think tank event will feature an overview of three research projects looking for creative input.

Do you like to discuss new ideas? Solve problems? Make new connections? Then WE-Spark Think Tanks may be for you.

The Feb. 4 event will begin with an update on local health research activities and new funding opportunities followed by an overview of three projects that are looking for creative input, and breakout sessions:

A Retrospective Review of Inferior Vena Cava (IVC) Filter Insertion at Windsor Regional Hospital
Andrea Cervi, Windsor Regional Hospital
Seeking clinicians and researchers of all backgrounds, and people with expertise in thrombosis management would be a great addition. Statisticians always welcome.

Expanding the Health Innovation and Commercialization Pipeline in Windsor-Essex
Christopher Ng-Fletcher, WE-Spark Health Institute
This discussion would benefit from anyone interested in health innovation. We want to hear from industry and health researchers to help better understand how Windsor-Essex can innovate together and how we create a streamlined system to support each other.

Investigating Phenotypic and Molecular Profiles of Successful TKI Cessation in Chronic Myelogenous Leukemia
Caroline Hamm, Windsor Regional Hospital
In this session, we’re looking for scientists and those who work in genetic testing and counselling.

All disciplines and expertise, including students, are welcome to participate in WE-Spark Think Tanks.

WE-Spark Health Institute hosts bi-monthly sessions. Click here to register for the February event, which will run 1 to 3:30 p.m.
