On July 5, researchers from McGill University who are members of the Center for Asthma in the Workplace hosted a meeting of partners and researchers from the Center at Meakins-Christie Laboratories. Special thanks go to Dr. James Martin and Dr Qutayba Hamid for helping to set up the event.
At this meeting, we were pleased to welcome, among other guests, three new researchers; Michel Gérin, PhD, Département de santé environnementale et santé au travail de l’Université de Montréal, Dr Martin Desrosiers, ORL Hôtel-Dieu de Montréal et Simon Bacon, PhD, Department of Exercise Science, Concordia University. We continued with principal investigators of each project selected for 2006. They gave brief presentations, of their interesting work followed by a lively question period. We invited the members to the next meeting, slated for November, students who received funding in 2007 will present their projects.
