Patrick Lawler is a clinician-scientist at the Peter Munk Cardiac Centre at University Health Network, where he attends in the cardiac intensive care unit, and an Assistant Professor of Medicine at the University of Toronto. His current research represents a diverse but interconnected program of science aimed at developing precision-medicine approaches for the prevention and treatment of critical illness. Much of this work has a strong scientific focus on inflammation and metabolism, at the mechanistic intersection between cardiogenic shock and sepsis. Many of these studies are built on molecular epidemiology / systems biology approaches, and leverage advances in high-dimensional molecular data acquisition and analysis in patient cohorts. He also has an interest in post-sepsis cardiovascular disease complications.

Dr. Hochman is Senior Associate Dean for Clinical Sciences, Co-Director of the NYU-HHC Clinical and Translational Science Institute, Harold Snyder Family Professor and Associate Director of the Leon Charney Division of Cardiology, and Director of the Cardiovascular Clinical Research Center at the New York University School of Medicine. Her particular areas of interest include the management of ischemic heart disease, both acute and chronic, with a special interest in the role of revascularization with either PCI or CABG, the pathophysiology and management of cardiogenic shock, and optimized management based on sex differences. She is currently the Study Chair of the ISCHEMIA Trial, comparing two strategies for the management of patients with stable coronary artery disease.

Dr. Hochman has served on numerous steering and executive committees for multi-center ischemic heart disease clinical trials including MAGIC, APEX-AMI, SOLID-TIMI 52, STABILITY, TRILOGY, and EARLY ACS. She has served as a member and chair of numerous Data and Safety Monitoring Boards (DSMBs) on trials sponsored by NIH and industry. In recognition of her scientific contributions she was awarded the 2014 AHA Clinical Research Prize and the 2016 ACC Distinguished Scientist Award (Clinical Domain).

Dr. James Douketis is the Director of the Vascular Medicine Program and Staff Physician in Vascular Medicine and General Internal Medicine at St. Joseph’s Healthcare Hamilton. He is a Professor in the Department of Medicine at McMaster University and the Associate Director of the Clinical Teaching Unit at St. Joseph’s Healthcare. He received his Doctor of Medicine degree and completed his residency in Internal Medicine at the University of Toronto. He then completed a fellowship in thromboembolic disease at McMaster University.  Dr. Douketis’ research interests include perioperative antithrombotic therapy, prognosis of patients with venous thromboembolism, bleeding risks during antithrombotic therapy, hormonal therapy and thrombosis, prevention of venous thromboembolism in medical patients, and clinical practice guideline development for the prevention and treatment of obesity.

Saskia Middeldorp was trained as a physician and internist in Amsterdam, where she also received her PhD in thrombosis and thrombophilia. After her training as an internist, she continued her career as a staff member at the AMC. From 2006 to July 2010, she worked at Leiden University Medical Center. In 2010 Saskia Middeldorp returned to Amsterdam and was appointed Professor of Internal Medicine at the AMC. She became co-head of the Department of Vascular Medicine, chaired the residency program in Vascular Medicine, and led the research lines in the field of Thrombosis and Hemostasis.
