 ADAM RAHMAN, MD, FRCPC, Associate ProfessorMy clinical and research interest are focused on clinical nutrition. After training in internal medicine and gastroenterology, I completed advanced training in clinical nutrition at the University of Chicago. I subsequently trained in critical medicine at the University of Toronto at Sunnybrook Health Sciences Centre focusing on phamaco-nutrition in critically ill patients. I am currently completing my Master of Clinical Epidemiology at the University of Toronto. Keywords: Clinical nutrition Malnutrition Metabolic syndrome Nutritional policy Sarcopenia |

 GINA ROHEKAR, MD, FRCPC, Associate ProfessorDr. Gina Rohekar completed medical school at the University of Western Ontario. She went on to pursue rheumatology as a career. She trained at Queen’s University for General Internal Medicine and the University of Toronto for her rheumatology fellowship. She has recently completed a Master’s Degree in Clinical Epidemiology. Her research interests include rheumatoid arthritis, patient outcome measures, lupus and scleroderma. Keywords: Database research Epidemiology patient outcome measures Rheumatoid Arthritis |

 SHERRY ROHEKAR, MD, FRCPC, Associate ProfessorDr. Rohekar completed medical school at the University of Western Ontario, where her work with the rheumatology department inspired her to persue rheumatology as a career. She completed a fellowship in rheumatology at the University of Toronto, with career development support from the Arthritis Society. She has recently completed a Master’s of Science in clinical epidemiology and is using this to perform clinical research. She has a particular interest in ankylosing spondylitis and psoriatic arthritis. Keywords: Ankylosing spondylitis Inflammatory bowel disease related inflammatory arthritis and reactive arthritis Psoriatic arthritis Spondyloarthritis |

 PAVEL ROSHANOV, MD, FRCPC, Assistant ProfessorI am a clinical epidemiologist and medical specialist in kidney disease and kidney transplantation. Patients with kidney failure are among those with the highest risk of heart disease, stroke, infections, bleeding, and overall frailty. They are more prone to, for example, a lung infection or a hip fracture, and have more complications after such events. At the same time, they are either poorly represented or entirely excluded from most studies that guide medical practice. Expanding research to patients with advanced kidney disease and kidney failure would better inform their care. I am always looking to work with other researchers, graduate and undergraduate students, and medical trainees on projects that can inform the care of patients with kidney disease or that improve research methodology. My primary areas of focus currently involve: - Preventing bleeding and transfusion during and after surgery, and especially in people with kidney failure where blood transfusion may delay access to kidney transplantation - Reducing the risk of medical complications in the weeks to months after surgery - Reducing chronic inflammation in patients with kidney disease to prevent cardiovascular events - Large simple trials in hemodialysis |
