Sex Differences in CT Airway Measurements and their Relationship to Post-Acute COVID-19 Syndrome

Funding the travel to this multidisciplinary, international conference aligns with the priorities in the mandate of ICRH. Attending conferences and presenting research to leaders and peers in one's research field is a key training and development opportunity for graduate students like myself, which is supportive of Priority A: Preparing Future Capacity. Thus, supporting my conference attendance aligns with the goals of ICRH to support the robust and inclusive development of future leaders in the field. In addition, my research focuses on deepening our understanding of post-acute COVID-19 syndrome, arguably one of the most important current challenges in respiratory health in Canada. A task of this magnitude is dependent on collaboration across multiple disciplines, ranging from clinical medicine to imaging research, in alignment of Priority B: Accelerating Knowledge Through Collaboration. By presenting my research at ATS, I will be able to increase its exposure within the field and facilitate face-to-face discussions with potential collaborators with similar research goals. At the meeting, there will be the potential to form connections that will result in future collaborative research projects and subsequent publications.
