Research summaryDr. Stein’s current research is primarily focused on pathogens of emerging/re-emerging public health concern and the development of diagnostic platforms for detection and surveillance. His research interests also include understanding pathogenesis to emerging pathogens in order to inform the rapid development of novel vaccines and diagnostics. A better understanding of pathogenesis will allow for the development of enhanced diagnostics to combat current public health priorities in the field of emerging pathogens.
BiographyDr. Stein graduated with a PhD in Medical Microbiology and Infectious Disease from the University of Manitoba where he studied HIV resistance in Kenyan sex workers. Dr. Stein went on to conduct his post-doctoral studies at the National Microbiology Laboratory where he focused on the development of vaccines/therapeutics for CL4 pathogens such as Ebola and Lassa virus. Currently, Dr. Stein uses a combination of basic science and epidemiology to study pathogens of public health consequence as a scientist in the Serology and Parasitology department at Cadham Provincial Laboratory. Dr. Stein also serves as the provincial expert in the detection of blood-borne pathogens, STBBI’s, zoonotic diseases, viral exanthemata, and parasitic infections.
