About the webinar<\/h2>\n

\"Webinar:<\/p>\n

Join Dr. Sasha Bernatsky, a leading researcher in rheumatic disease and environmental health, as she delves into how environmental exposures impact autoimmunity and inflammation. Drawing on her extensive work with CanPath, Dr. Bernatsky has demonstrated potential associations between air pollutants, including PM2.5, and autoimmunity and rheumatic diseases.<\/p>\n

In this session, Dr. Bernatsky will also preview her new research on the impact of wildfire smoke and temperature extremes on rheumatic diseases in Canada, supported by recent CIHR funding. Researchers interested in environmental health, autoimmune diseases, and leveraging population-based data for innovative studies won\u2019t want to miss this opportunity to gain valuable insights and explore future directions in the field.<\/p>\n
