Dr. Andrew Suen was born in Vancouver and raised in Calgary who, in discovering the unsurprising unemployability of a BA Philosophy, first entered the health sciences field as an anesthesia clinical research coordinator in Toronto.
He eventually undertook undergraduate (MD) training at the University of Calgary, then moved in 2015 to Halifax, NS for residency training, during which he became the first anesthesia resident to participate in the Clinician Investigator Program (CIP) at Dalhousie University. Through the CIP program, he obtained a MSc during a 2-year research fellowship in a translational research laboratory at the University of Maryland Shock Trauma Centre in Baltimore, MD studying the immunomodulatory effects of circulating extracellular microRNA in mouse and human models. In 2022, he returned to the greater Toronto area for fellowship training at the Toronto General Hospital in Abdominal Organ Transplantation (Liver), Cardiovascular Anesthesia, and CV Critical Care. His academic interests center around organ preservation and extend across the spectrum of intestinal, hepatobiliary, and cardiac ischemia-reperfusion injury.
