Dr. Careem completed his BVSc (Hons) degree at Peradeniya University, Sri Lanka in 1991, followed by a Master of Veterinary Medicine from the University of Glasgow Veterinary School, UK in 1995. He obtained his PhD in host-viral interactions from the Ontario Veterinary College at the University of Guelph in 2008. Dr. Careem was awarded a Canadian Institutes of Health Research Fellowship to conduct post-doctoral research on innate immune responses generated by mucosal viral infections at the Center for Gene Therapeutics at McMaster University, Hamilton. He is a diplomate of the American College of Poultry Veterinarians and the American College of Veterinary Microbiologists. His research focuses on infection biology, particularly how disease-causing viruses utilize the respiratory mucosa for host entry, and the key immunological events that occur at the site of viral infection, which are critical for preventing the establishment of viral infections. Dr. Careem investigates innate immune mediators that can be used to control viral infections, emphasizing the economic and public health importance of respiratory viral infections.
