Dr. Christine Démoré is a Senior Scientist at Sunnybrook Research Institute & Associate Professor in the Department of Medical Biophysics, University of Toronto. She completed her BSc Engineering Physics and PhD Physics, both at Queen’s University, Kingston, Canada, before moving to the University of Dundee, Scotland, for postdoctoral research, working in the interdisciplinary Institute for Medical Science and Technology. She held the Royal Society of Edinburgh Biomedical Personal Research Fellowship at University of Dundee, then at University of Glasgow, and returned to Canada in 2016. Dr. Démoré has since held numerous industry and academic board positions, and continues to be a driver of innovation in the medical ultrasound sector.

Read MoreEmmanuel Cherin received his Ph.D degree in Physical Acoustics from the University Pierre et Marie Curie (Paris VI), Paris, France, in 1998. He then joined the imaging research group at the Sunnybrook Health Sciences Centre, Toronto, Ontario, Canada, as a postdoctoral fellow. Since 2001, he occupies a Research Associate position at the Sunnybrook Research Institute, where he is involved in research projects related to high frequency ultrasound imaging, photoacoustic imaging, ultrasound contrast agents, and transducer development and characterization.
PublicationsYohannes Soenjaya received his degree in biomedical engineering, and Masters in Engineering and Management from Case Western Reserve University, Cleveland, Ohio, USA in 2007. He completed his doctorate in Biomedical Engineering from Western University, London, Ontario, Canada in 2016. For his doctoral program, his research involved in mechanisms of bone mineralization and repair, biomaterials, and tissue regeneration specifically for orthopaedic applications. He joined the ultrasound imaging research group in 2017 and currently is a Research Associate at the Sunnybrook Research Institute. He is involved in research projects related to high frequency ultrasound, photoacoustic and contrast imaging, in vivo tumor models, characterization of cells transfected with acoustic reporter genes for ultrasound imaging and potential therapeutic applications, picosecond infrared laser (PIRL) ablation, and application of ultrasound imaging as a screening tool to detect bone fractures.
PublicationsAaron Boyes received the B.Sc. degree from the University of Toronto, Toronto, ON, Canada, in 2004. He has since been a researcher at the Sunnybrook Research Institute (SRI), Toronto, where he has been involved in the design and testing of several devices that have translated to clinical testing and commercial development. This has included contributions to research projects on prostate cancer therapy, a wearable sensor for blood flow measurement, analysis of ultrasound, magnetic resonance, and histological images. He is currently the Manager of the Device Development Laboratory, SRI.
