Meet the Researcher: Perspectives from a trainee of Dr. Ed Pryzdial
A new “Meet the Researcher” video showcasing the expertise of Canadian Blood Services’ research network is now available on blood.ca! The video features Dr. Ed Pryzdial, a Canadian Blood Services senior scientist and clinical professor in the Centre for Blood research at the University of British Columbia (UBC) in Vancouver. Dr. Pryzdial’s laboratory is located at the Centre for Blood Research (CBR) where a partnership between Canadian Blood Services and CBR is helping to train the next generation of researchers in transfusion science.
As a complement to the video and to highlight the “behind-the-scenes” view on discovery research activities that Dr. Pryzdial and his team undertake, we invited John Perrier to share his perspectives as a trainee pursuing graduate studies with Dr. Pryzdial’s mentorship.
Meet the Researcher: Dr. Ed Pryzdial
Fly fishing is perhaps one of the most unusual sports. It involves wading into a river and rhythmically waving a rod to cast an imitation insect, hand-fabricated from feathers and tinsel attached to a line, in hopes of fooling a finicky trout. It’s a peculiar mix of artistry, biology and physics. It’s also what brought Dr. Ed Pryzdial, in a round-about way, to his research at Canadian Blood Services.
