Dean of the Faculty of Science at Ryerson University and Professor in the Department of Chemistry & Biology.  Dr. Coe is an award-winning scientist who continues to conduct research into enhanced understanding drug transport proteins involved in the uptake of anti-cancer, anti-viral and anti-parasite drugs.

Dr. Coe is an accomplished researcher and speaker.  She has served on several national science review panels. She is internationally recognized for her scientific research which has presented at conferences and seminars across the globe and published in over 70 scholarly papers, book chapters and abstracts. Early in her research career, she was awarded the Premier’s Research Excellence Award (now known as the Early Research Award).

Dr. Coe is also a strong and articulate advocate for equity, diversity and inclusivity (EDI) in science, technology, engineering and math (STEM).  She is committed to the support, promotion and retention of women and other under-represented groups in STEM.  She is a highly sought speaker who makes the case for evidence-based policy changes that address organizational, institutional, structural & systemic barriers to full EDI in STEM.  She is considered to be a national thought leader on these issues.

Dr. Coe holds a PhD in Biology from the University of Victoria, an MSc from the University of Victoria and a bachelor’s degree from Exeter University in the U.K. She is an affiliate scientist with Li Ka Shing Knowledge Institute, Keenan Research Centre and St. Michael’s Hospital. She is a member of the Board of Directors of the Michael Garron Hospital (formerly TEGH).  She is also on the advisory board of hErVOLUTION, a non-profit organization working on access to innovative education and employment services to girls and young women in STEM as well as the advisory council for Girls in STEM, an initiative of FIRST Robotics Canada.

In her talk, Imogen Coe addresses the lack of female representation in STEM; science, technology, engineering and math. Using humour and real life examples, she encourages women (and their allies) to break barriers, challenge stereotypes and demand their opportunity to contribute to science

Dr. Imogen Coe has worked extensively as an academic scientist and administrator, challenging stereotypes and breaking barriers for girls and women in her field. Imogen sees the the lack of equity, diversity and inclusivity in STEM at Ryerson University in her role as professor and dean of the faculty of science.  Low confidence levels and under-representation of young women in STEM disciplines means that we are losing important skill sets and talent, limiting our ability to solve complex problems such as climate change. Imogen is an advocate for women in STEM and she uses data and evidence to demonstrate unfair practices, while providing suggestions on how to fix the system.  As someone who was raised with a strong sense of social justice, Imogen believes in the fundamental right of everyone to contribute and participate in STEM to their full potential. Imogen firmly believes that EDI in STEM is not just a woman’s rights issue, but a human rights issue.
