Biography:

Connor Larkey is a Research Assistant in the Faculty of Medicine at the University of British Columbia and the Division of Medical Sciences at the University of Victoria. He earned his Honours Bachelor of Science in Cellular, Anatomical, and Physiological Sciences from UBC, where his thesis in neuroscience explored the promotion of remyelination in multiple sclerosis.

Connor’s research brings together neuroscience, critical care, and cell biology, with a particular emphasis on how the brain and heart respond to injury. In his clinical work, he investigates hypoxic-ischemic brain injury following cardiac arrest, using advanced neuroimaging techniques, physiological monitoring, and biomarker analysis to characterize patterns of brain injury. In his preclinical work, Connor examines sex-specific neuroinflammatory responses and cellular mechanisms underlying neurological and cardiovascular disease. His work leverages quantitative imaging, advanced microscopy, and translational physiology to connect cellular findings with clinical outcomes.

Research areas of interest:

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.
