Careers in Pathology & Laboratory Medicine: Master Classes - An Interview with Dr. Blake Gilks
Description
In this special bonus episode of the GOSH Podcast, we feature a Pathology Research Rounds session with Dr. Blake Gilks, Professor Emeritus in the Department of Pathology and Laboratory Medicine at the University of British Columbia and Regional Medical Director of Laboratories at Vancouver General Hospital.
Dr. Gilks reflects on a career defined by mentorship, curiosity, and collaboration — one that has shaped the practice and progress of gynecologic pathology in Canada and beyond. He shares insights from decades of clinical and research leadership, including his work refining the classification of ovarian, endometrial, and vulvar carcinomas, and his pivotal role in advancing opportunistic salpingectomy as a prevention strategy for ovarian cancer.
As a mentor, collaborator, and co-founder of OVCARE, BC’s gynecologic cancer research program, Dr. Gilks has inspired generations of pathologists and researchers to approach discovery with both scientific rigor and compassion.
🎧 Join us for a thoughtful conversation on mentorship, discovery, and the lasting impact of a career devoted to advancing women’s cancer research.
