Biography:

Noah is a graduate student at the University of British Columbia’s School of Biomedical Engineering. His research focuses on manufacturing of implantable materials for regenerative medicine and tissue engineering. Together with a team of graduate students and an OB/GYN, he has also co-developed a surgical training model of the postpartum lower pelvis in order to train healthcare providers in lifesaving gynecologic surgeries addressing postpartum hemorrhage. His work has extended beyond the lab, contributing to the implementation of these models in surgical training programs across urban/rural Canada and in low- and middle-income countries such as Rwanda, Democratic Republic of the Congo, Tanzania, and South Sudan.

The Women’s Health Research Institute would like to acknowledge that we are uninvited guests on the unceded ancestral territories of the xʷməθkwəy̓əm (Musqueam), Skwxwú7mesh (Squamish), Stó:lo, and sel̓íl̓witulh (Tsleil-waututh) Nations.

As a provincial research institute committed to improving the health outcomes of women, including those across the 2SLGBTQIA+ spectrum, we recognize our responsibility in the collective effort towards establishing culturally safe health care systems and services that address health inequities among Indigenous peoples, especially Indigenous women, girls, and Two-spirit peoples.

We encourage all people involved in research to read both the Truth and Reconciliation Commission of Canada: Calls to Action and the In Plain Sight Report, and reflect on ways we can incorporate the recommendations into our work. As we gather in spaces together, we encourage you to reflect on your positionality on these lands and your personal commitments to reconciliation.
