From a young age, Dr. Ronda Lun was fascinated by neuroscience and the brain — you could say it came naturally, as her father was a neurosurgeon. But today, Dr. Lun is carving out her own career path at The Ottawa Hospital, focusing on clinical care and research for stroke patients. Author of more than 34 papers to date, Dr. Lun received an honourable mention for the hospital’s 2022 Worton Researcher in Training Award. In our conversation, she talks about her love for practice-changing research, how her stroke research intersects with cancer research, and why coming to our hospital was the best decision for her. You’ll also find out what instrument made her fall in love with classical music. (23:51)
