SPEAKER: Anil Kalupahana, Department of Pathology and Microbiology TITLE: Characterization of a putative reovirus isolated from incidents of wild bird mortality in Canada.

Dr. Dave Sackett is a medical doctor who does a lot of “medical detective” research in order to find better ways to prevent, diagnose, and treat illnesses such as heart attacks, strokes, pneumonia, poisonings, severe diabetes, and advanced cancer. As “medical detectives,” Dr. Sackett’s team was the first to ask whether aspirin could prevent strokes and heart attacks (yes it can!), and whether nurse-practitioners could do a great job and take care of 80% of the patients who come to a family physician’s office (yes they can!). In order to help you decide whether you might want to become a “medical detective”, Dr. Sackett will present you with one or two “cases” his group was asked to solve. Senior high school students who come hear Dr. Sackett talk will be treated to lunch and a tour of the UPEI campus. Call (902) 566-0488 to register. The 2010 Gairdner Student Lecture is made possible by the generous support of the PEI department of Innovation and Advanced Learning, ACOA, and the PEI BioAlliance. *Undergraduate students are welcome to attend the lecture.
