Bruce McManus
Professor EmeritusAbout
I have entered my 27th year as faculty at the University of British Columbia. In the focused scientific sense, I have remained intent on answering worthwhile questions about heart allograft rejection, its mechanisms, detection and monitoring, and on issues related to enteroviral damage of myocardium as one pathway to heart failure. I have had the privilege of working with many colleagues and in mentoring numerous trainees in science and clinics regarding heart health, disease and relevant biology. I have enjoyed participation in many organizations locally and globally in this learning journey. It is a pleasure to continue.
