Associate Professor, Senior Clinician-Scientist
McGill University Health Centre
Montreal, QC, Canada
Dr. Vinh is Infectious Disease physician, Medical Microbiologist and Section head (ID-Hematology-Oncology/Transplant) at the McGill University Health Centre. He did his medical school at McGill University, followed by Internal Medicine residency there, Infectious Disease fellowship at the University of Manitoba, Medical Microbiology training back at McGill, and then a three-and-a-half year post-doctoral research fellowship at the NIH (in the lab of Dr. Steve Holland), working on inborn errors of immunity to fungi and MonoMAC due to GATA2 deficiency. He returned to McGill at the end of 2010. He is a provincially-funded Senior Clinician-scientist. His lab is at the forefront of CARD9 deficiency and deciphering the mechanisms underlying its associated fungal infections, and has discovered a combined immunodeficiency syndrome due to recessive mutations in ICOS-Ligand. His translational research program continues to decipher how molecular defects of human immunity contribute to infections that are recurrent, recalcitrant, and/or unusually severe in patients.
