Annia Schreiber MD
Professional Bio
Annia Schreiber received her MD with honors from the University of Torino, Italy, where she also completed her post-graduate training in Respirology. After working as a staff respirologist in Pavia, Italy, she undertook a 2 year-research fellowship at the Pierre and Marie Curie University in Paris, France.
In 2019 she joined Dr. Laurent Brochard’s vibrant Research Lab in the Keenan Research Centre at the Li Ka Shing Knowledge Institute, St. Michael’s Hospital. Currently, she is a PhD candidate, under Dr. Brochard’s supervision, in the Institute of Medical Science. Her Ph.D. is focused on exploring the role of the accessory respiratory muscles in patients with prolonged weaning from mechanical ventilation, including patients with spinal cord injury, and on developing novel rehabilitative techniques to promote liberation from the ventilator.
During her PhD, she developed an innovative method to quantify abdominal muscle function using ultrasound, and a prediction score for weaning success after spinal cord injury. Annie received the 2022-2023 St. Michael’s Hospital Medical Services Association Innovation Fund for her studies on respiratory muscles in patients with spinal cord injuries. Her research has produced over 45 publications, 8 book chapters, and over 60 conference presentations.
