Mentors
Dr. Georg Schmolzer
Dr. Schmolzer is the director of the Centre for the Studies of Asphyxia and Resuscitation.
Dr. Georg Schmölzer is a clinician-scientist with a focus on fetal-to-neonatal physiology and neonatal cardiopulmonary resuscitation. He is the Director or CSAR (Centre for the Studies of Asphyxia and Resuscitation) at the University of Alberta. He is also a Professor of Pediatrics at the University of Alberta. Dr. Schmölzer obtained his MD at the Medical University Graz in Austria and trained in Pediatrics and Neonatology at the Medical University Graz and The Royal Women's Hospital in Melbourne, Australia. He obtained his PhD at Monash University, Melbourne, Australia, before completing a 2-year postdoctoral fellowship as a Banting Postdoctoral Fellow at the University of Alberta. Dr. Schmölzer research focuses on understand physiological changes during fetal to neonatal transition, improve diagnoses, mitigate risk, and improve survival and quality of life for newborns, use of emerging technologies during neonatal resuscitation, and examine how these physiological changes can be used to improve short- and long-term outcomes of newborn babies.
Dr Schmolzer is the mentor of Dr. Gabriel Altit thanks to the participation to the ENRICH and IMPACT programs.
Dr. Anne-Monique Nuyt
Dr. Anne Monique Nuyt is neonatologist and senior clinician-scientist at CHU Ste-Justine, Montréal. Dr Nuyt’s research team studies risk of cardiovascular diseases in children and adults who were born preterm. Her translational research program spans from experimental animal work, to clinical as well as epidemiological studies. She leads the HAPI (Health of Adults born Preterm Investigation) cohort study with Dr Thuy Mai Luu, and launched the Quebec Research Network in Perinatal Determinants of Children Health with Dr Sylvana Côté. She holds the Cercle de Sainte-Justine DOHaD Research Chair and a Tier 1 Canada Research Chair in Prematurity and Developmental Origins of Cardiovascular Health and Diseases. She is currently Professor of Pediatrics and Chair/Chief of the Department of Pediatrics at CHU SainteJustine/Faculty of Medicine Université de Montréal. She recently completed her mandate as chair of the advisory board to the CIHR Institute for Human Development, Child and Youth Health. Her research is funded by CIHR and Heart and Stroke Foundation of Canada. Dr Nuyt was awarded a number of prices for her work, is actively involved in scientific societies in perinatal as well as adult cardiovascular research, and in mentoring both clinicians and scientists.
Dr. Nuyt is the mentor of Dr Altit for the FRQS Program - Clinician Scientist.
Dr. Guilherme Sant'Anna is a Neonatologist at the Neonatal Intensive Care Unit (NICU), and a Professor of Pediatrics at the Montreal Children's Hospital. His research interests include, but not limited to, wireless vital sign monitoring in term and preterm infants, prediction of extubation readiness in extremely preterm infants, protocols for neonatal respiratory support, and management of asphyxiated infants receiving therapeutic hypothermia. He is the principal investigator of the SMART Hospital Project. He is professor of Pediatrics at McGill University and internationally recognized for his expertise in the respiratory physiology and management of premature newborns.
Dr. Sant'Anna has always been a great support to me and has mentored me (Gabriel Altit) through every step of my journey in research and academia. Thanks to his consistent and diligent guidance, I have gained extensive knowledge and skills clinically, methodologically, and academically. Dr Sant'Anna has invited me to participate to countless opportunities: manuscripts, research projects, co-supervision of students, presentation at conferences, etc.
Dr. Wintermark is a neonatologist at the Montreal Children's Hospital and senior scientist at the MUHC-RI. Her work is focusing on studying newborns with hypoxic ischemic encephalopathy, as well as other types of neonatal brain injury mechanisms. Dr. Wintermark has published countless of fundamental and clinical research on brain imaging, neonatal neurology, asphyxia, brain recovery and a trial on the use of Sildenafil to promote repair of the brain in neonates following asphyxia.
Dr. Wintermark has also been a mentor to me (G. Altit) in many aspects of my academic and personal journey. She is actively involved in guiding my research projects and helping me pursue academic opportunities.
