Biographical Sketch
Dr. Scott received his B.Sc., M.Sc., and Ph.D. in Pharmacology & Toxicology from the University of Western Ontario. Following a Post-doctoral fellowship, funded by the Canadian Lung Association, Merck Frosst, and the CIHR, in the lab of Dr. Philip A. Marsden at the University of Toronto, Dr. Scott joined the Faculty of Medicine in 2004, and is cross-appointed with the Division of Occupational Medicine and the Gage Occupational and Environmental Health Unit at St. Michael’s Hospital. Dr. Scott’s previous investigations have examined the non-adrenergic non-cholinergic mechanisms of control of the human pulmonary circulation, as well as the contribution of the nitric oxide synthase pathways to the pathogenesis of pulmonary disease.
