Dr. Zubair Fadlullah, PhD
Lakehead University/Thunder Bay Regional Health Research Institute Research Chair
Dr. Zubair Fadlullah is the newest scientist to join the Thunder Bay Regional Health Research Institute as a Lakehead University-Health Research Institute Research Chair. Dr. Fadlullah will be responsible for conducting a research program related to Smart Health Technology and will be affiliated with Lakehead University’s Department of Computer Science.
The Lakehead University-Health Research Institute Research Chair in Smart Health Technology will develop, evaluate, and translate knowledge related to smart health technology research. Smart health technology consists of software and mobile technology as well as integrated hardware such as smart phones and sensors that advance health.
