Mentoring Future Leaders: Insights and Dialogue Panel Edition

The Mentoring Future Leaders: Insights and Dialogue sessions offer a platform for established leaders in women’s health to share mentorship insights, career trajectories, and pearls of wisdom, followed by interactive Q&A.

Join us on June 7th for a special panel edition of this series with three leaders in the field of women’s health: Dr. Madeleine Durand, Wangari Tharao, and Dr. Hélène Côté.

Dr. Madeleine Durand is a specialist in internal medicine, an epidemiologist and an HIV researcher. She is interested in long term impacts of living with HIV, such as early-onset comorbidities, discovering pathways to successful aging with HIV infection, as well as co-designing research protocols with people with lived experience. She teaches medicine at Université de Montréal, and conducts her research from the CHUM and CHUM Research Center.

Wangari Tharao is a distinguished community-based researcher and advocate in the women and HIV field, with a special emphasis on the health and wellbeing of racialized women. Renowned for her leadership in HIV/health advocacy and her role as a co-founder of multiple networks supporting Black populations in Canada and globally, Wangari offers invaluable insights that bridge community knowledge with programmatic and policy practices.

Dr. Hélène Côté, a Professor in Pathology and Laboratory Medicine at the University of British Columbia, has garnered acclaim for her research, including receiving the Michael Smith Research Foundation Scholar Award and a CIHR New Investigator award. Her expertise ranges from antiretroviral drug toxicity to healthy aging in women living with HIV and their children, demonstrated through her leadership in initiatives like the CARMA cohort and the British Columbia CARMA-CHIWOS Collaboration (BCC3).
