đđ„đEver heard of a sourdough geek who also happens to be a rockstar vaccine expert? Join host đ€ Dr. Carolyn Quash on the Find My Vaccine Podcast as she kneads out the details with immunization guru đ Dr. Caroline Quachâfresh from Quebec đ and fresh out of flour! From sprinkling dough across her kitchen (sorry, husband!) to sprinkling wisdom on immunocompromised patient care đ„đĄ, Dr. Quach dishes on how precision vaccinology đĄ, AI-driven modeling đ€, and big-data insights đ are stirring up a brand-new recipe for public health guidance. Get ready to rise to the occasionâand maybe rise some bread on the side! đđ„ Learning Objectives đŻ Sourdough & Science đ„đŹ: Understand how baking bread (yes, really!) parallels the trial-and-error approach in developing vaccination recommendations. Immunocompromised Insights đđ€: Learn the biggest challenges (and breakthroughs) in vaccinating special patient populationsâespecially those under biologics or CAR T-cell therapies. Modeling & More đ€đ: Discover how in silico trials, predictive modeling, and AI might shape tomorrowâs vaccination schedules. Policy in Action đâïž: Grasp the role of NACI in translating groundbreaking research into real-world immunization guidance. Donât miss this chance â° to raise your knowledge, feed your curiosity, and find the perfect recipe for innovative vaccine strategies! Tune in now, and letâs get kneading! đ„đïžđ About Dr. Caroline Quach Dr. Caroline Quach is a Professor in the Departments of Microbiology, Infectious Diseases & Immunology and of Pediatrics at University of Montreal. She is an adjunct Professor in the Department of Epidemiology, Biostatistics & Occupational Health at McGill University and a scientific collaborator at the School of Public Health at UniversitĂ© Libre de Bruxelles (ULB) in Brussels. She is the physician in charge of Infection Prevention and control at CHU Sainte-Justine where she also works as a pediatric infectious diseases specialist and medical microbiologist. Dr. Quach is a clinician-scientist, supported by the Fonds de Recherche QuĂ©bec â SantĂ© (FRQS, chercheure boursiĂšre de mĂ©rite) and was recently awarded the Canada Research Chair, Tier 1 in Infection Prevention and Control. Her research interests are in Infection Prevention: both healthcare-associated and vaccine-preventable diseases. Dr. Quach is the former Chair of the National Advisory Committee on Immunization (NACI )from the Public Health Agency of Canada. She is a former president from the Association for Medical Microbiology and Infectious Diseases (AMMI) Canada (2014-2016). She was named Fellow of the Canadian Academy of Health Sciences and of the Society for Healthcare Epidemiology of America. Dr. Quach was selected as one of the 2019 most Powerful Women in Canada (2019 Top 100 Award Winner in the Manulife Science and Technology category). Dr. Zain Chagla Dr.Zain Chagla, MD MSc MD, FRCPC is an associate professor at McMaster University, co-medical director of infection control at St. Josephâs Healthcare Hamilton and a consultant in infection control at Woodstock General Hospital.
