October 23:Women of Gairdner

The Gairdner Foundation, in partnership with Women’s College Hospital, are hosting the third annual Women of Gairdner event during Gairdner Science Week. Through panel discussion, storytelling and interactive dialogue, 2024 Canada Gairdner Award laureates Drs. Meghan Azad and Dr. Gagandeep Kang will share insights into their unique career paths, research, and the challenges they have faced, as well as the need for greater equity and inclusion within the health sciences fields.

High school students, researchers and local faculty are invited to attend the discussion and will have the opportunity to take part in educational activities and a networking event where they will broaden their understanding of science and knowledge systems, build their networking skills, and connect with scientists, researchers, and other students.
