MSc (2001, Queen's)

BSc/BEd (1999, York University) 

I am currently enrolled in the Urology program at McMaster University in Hamilton. Afterwards, I will further focus my interests by completing a 2 year research fellowship in Andrology at the Baylor College of Medicine in Houston, Texas under the mentorship of Drs. L. Lipshultz and D. Lamb. I anticipate pursuing an academic research position with a combined focus on erectile dysfunction and infertility.

Mark Kirchof, MD/PhD 2008

Dermatology, UBC

Mark Kirchhof is going to be starting his third year of residency in Dermatology at UBC in July, 2011. He did his rotating internship in Victoria. He continues to have an interest in research and hopes to make valuable contributions to the Department of Dermatology & Skin Science as he joins the core program. He still is able to contribute to publications in his former lab from his PhD work and looks upon his productive time at the University of Western Ontario with great fondness.
