Dr. Meshach Asare-Werehene is the Immuno-Oncology Program Lead in the Tsang Lab at The Ottawa Hospital, specializing in gynecological cancers. Since he was a young boy growing up in Ghana, he was curious and always asked questions.
In this episode, he describes the one simple question that sparked his interest in learning more about cancer, and you’ll also find out how he got the nickname “headmaster” when he was young. Dr. Asare-Werehene talks about his research into ovarian cancer — from finding ways to detect it earlier to the impact of A.I., as well as the impact philanthropy had directly on his work. He also discusses how he hopes to inspire more young Black children about what’s possible for them in the future. (33:26)
