Dick, Alexander

Le Dr Dick a obtenu son doctorat en médecine de l’Université du Manitoba en 1994 et a par la suite poursuivi sa spécialisation à l’Université de l’Ouest de l’Ontario en 2000. Le Dr Dick a été admis comme associé du Collège royal des médecins et chirurgiens du Canada (FRCPC) en médecine interne en 1997 et en cardiologie en 2000. Il est également agréé par l’American Board of Internal Medicine et l’American Board of Cardiovascular Diseases.

En 2003, il a démarré sa carrière au Centre des sciences de la santé Sunnybrook où il a travaillé comme cardiologue interventionniste, puis à titre de scientifique associé. En 2006, il a été nommé directeur du nouveau Centre de recherche en imagerie cardiovasculaire de cet établissement, centre dont il a contribué au développement dès sa création. Le Dr Dick a rejoint l’Institut de cardiologie de l’Université d’Ottawa en décembre 2009.

Intérêts cliniques et de recherche

Les principaux champs d’intérêt liés à la recherche du Dr Dick sont l’imagerie cardiovasculaire et la médecine régénérative, notamment l’IRM cardiovasculaire dans le diagnostic de la cardiopathie ischémique, le guidage par l’imagerie dans les nouveaux traitements interventionnels, l’utilisation de thérapies faisant appel aux cellules souches pour favoriser la régénération myocardique à la suite d’un infarctus du myocarde et la quantification et la mesure de l’efficacité in vivo de ce type de thérapies.
