Dr. Natalie Giannotti’s research has always focused on improving patient safety and healthcare systems.

From autonomous systems to algorithmic decision-making, artificial intelligence (AI) is raising questions that extend beyond the scope of law alone.

Interdisciplinary collaboration at the University of Windsor is helping address these questions by bringing multiple fields into the same conversation.

Nearly 400 researchers, clinicians, students and community partners gathered at Caesars Windsor on March 28 for the 2026 WE-SPARK Health Institute’s annual Health Research Conference. 

Participants from across disciplines shared research, exchanged ideas and explored new approaches to improving patient care and addressing pressing health challenges.

For Dr. Rebecca Balasa, the path to nursing didn't start in a classroom.

Her own experiences as a pediatric patient introduced her to the role nurses play, not only in delivering treatment, but in providing comfort and connection.

“I was really inspired by my own healthcare team,” she said. “It was through my relationships with nurses and seeing everything they do that I decided to go into the profession.”

That sense of purpose continues to guide her as she joins the University of Windsor’s Faculty of Nursing.

It takes more than medical expertise to support a patient after a lung transplant.

What do you wear to work?

Is what you wear truly your choice?

Or is it a reflection of how your workplace signals you are expected to look?

What employees wear is often assumed to be a personal decision, but in reality, those choices are often shaped by workplace norms, informal cues and broader power structures.

Clothing can affect how professionalism is judged, how credibility and organizational fit are assigned and how comfortable someone feels simply existing at work.
