Sabri Soussi
Dr. Sabri Soussi graduated from El Manar University, Tunis, Tunisia in 2007 (MD) and completed his specialty training in Anesthesiology and Critical Care in 2010. In 2011, he obtained his French MD equivalency and began a clinical activity in anesthesiology and critical care as an attending physician in La Pitié-Salpétrière and Lariboisière-Saint Louis University Hospitals in Paris, France. In 2015, Dr. Soussi received his certification in critical care ultrasonography (transthoracic and transesophageal echocardiography and lung ultrasonography) from Paris Descartes University. In 2022, he obtained a PhD in Genes, Omics, Bioinformatics and Systems biology from the University of Paris Cité. His research has mainly focused on identifying hemodynamic patterns and host response biomarkers to improve risk stratification in circulatory shock patients (sepsis, cardiogenic shock, severe burn injury). He set up a transatlantic collaborative research project with the St. Michael's Hospital Academic group to identify different subphenotypes/endotypes of critically ill patients in a large international cohort with a biobank (the FROG-ICU cohort) using unsupervised machine learning tools and a multiomics approach. Dr Soussi was awarded in 2022 the prestigious Doctoral Foreign Study Award (DFSA) from the Canadian Institutes of Health Research (CIHR) for his international research project in Toronto. He has been appointed in the Department of Anesthesiology and Pain Medicine (University Health Network) with an academic position of Assistant Professor at the Temerty Faculty of Medicine, University of Toronto.
