Adrian Guta
Adrian Guta holds a PhD in Social & Behavioural Health Sciences, with a collaborative program in Bioethics, from the Dalla Lana School of Public Health at the University of Toronto. His doctoral research examined HIV community-based research in Canada, with a focus on ethical issues that emerge when conducting collaborative research. Adrian is currently a CIHR postdoctoral fellow in Health Services & Population Health HIV/AIDS Research housed jointly at Carleton University and Simon Fraser University. He holds additional CIHR fellowships from the Health Care, Technology, and Place (HCTP) program, and the Social Research Centre in HIV Prevention (SRC). Adrian’s postdoctoral research examines sociocultural and ethical issues in the scale-up of new HIV treatment and prevention technologies, and their impacts on communities which are stigmatized and marginalized in the healthcare system and disproportionately burdened by HIV/AIDS. Adrian has previously co-organized a research conference focused on the sexual and reproductive health needs of Aboriginal youth, and more recently co-developed knowledge and dissemination products to assist research ethics boards to better meet the needs of Aboriginal research partnerships.
