HQP Organizing Committee
Dr. Joseph Baafi (Memorial University of Newfoundland and Labrador), Dr. Suzan Farhang Sardroodi (University of Manitoba), Dr. Shivdeep Singh Hayer (University of Guelph), Dr. Jeta Molla (York University), Dr. Pei Yuan (York University), Sanaz Gholizadeh (York University) and IT support by Steven Chen (York University)
The OMNI-RÉUNIS Super Spreader Seminar Series (SSSS) encourages Highly Qualified Personnel (HQPs, including postdocs and graduate students), faculty members and EIDM network affiliates to present their research, promote their ideas, share their research experiences, and establish connections among the various branches of the network. It is a platform to spread scientific knowledge about the One Health research framework and showcase the research progress of the 30+ OMNI-RÉUNIS HQPs within the network’s scientific research community. These seminars facilitate knowledge exchange within OMNI-RÉUNIS, the Emerging Infectious Disease Modelling (EIDM) networks, and the collaborating scientific community.
