Infectious Curiosity with Dr. Donald Vinh
What drives a doctor to dedicate their life not just to treating patients, but to uncovering the very mysteries of the human immune system?
In this first episode of Doctors Unscripted, host Dr. Nadia Giannetti, Cardiologist and Associate-Physician-in-Chief at the MUHC, sits down with Dr. Donald Vinh, clinician in the Infectious Diseases Division at the McGill University Health Centre (MUHC) and leading scientist in the Infectious Diseases and Immunity in Global Health Program at the RI-MUHC.
While Dr. Vinh is known internationally for his groundbreaking work on genetic defects of immunity and their role in infectious disease, this conversation goes beyond the lab and the clinic.
