President, Public Health Agency of Canada

Government of Canada

Dr. Harpreet Kochhar at standup computer station in his office.

I am the head of the Public Health Agency of Canada (PHAC).

When I was a student, I would have described myself as someone who

  • Wasn't sure what I wanted to do
  • Enjoyed exploring new things
  • Engaged in volunteer activities

I do research on how to make stem cell therapies more accessible, while also making sure they're safe and effective in treating diseases.

I am responsible for the daily operations and long-term growth of two environmental organizations.

I am a doctor to cats and dogs, as well as some other animals, such as parrots and rabbits. I also do research into a parasite of farmed salmon.

I make sure our projects meet environmental guidelines and have the least environmental impact possible.

I'm involved in different kinds of health research related to disability, engineering, and access to places like parks.

I support university-wide climate change educational programming and coordinate external professional development opportunities.

I help communities to take actions that will have positive impacts on the environment.

I enforce laws that help protect the fish, wildlife, and humans in the environment.

I work in a genomics lab to identify plants and animals using DNA samples.

I make sure we can monitor the weather all across Canada.

I help identify sources of bacteria that cause disease and understand how they survive there.

Decarbonization & Sustainability Specialist

I work to make the operations at the Port of Saint John cleaner, more sustainable, and lower our carbon footprint.

I assist in the monitoring of microorganisms, bacteria and viruses that may have an effect on our health.

I study how large dams may affect salmon and explore the role of hatcheries in rebuilding fish stocks.

I help communities with their climate change adaptation plans and sustainable development issues.

I review and analyze medical and insurance data to make sure it is accurate.

Graduate Student, Biomedical Engineering

I am a graduate student working towards my PhD in biological and biomedical engineering.

I work with individuals and organizations on programs that help address climate change.

I interpret and communicate pollution data collected by the National Pollutant Release Inventory (NPRI).

I do research with Black communities and teach undergraduate and graduate students.
