Through this work, she aims to develop an ethics-oriented framework to support critical care decision-making.<\/p>\n<p>[\/et_pb_text][\/et_pb_column][et_pb_column type=&#8221;2_5&#8243; _builder_version=&#8221;4.6.1&#8243; _module_preset=&#8221;default&#8221; global_colors_info=&#8221;{}&#8221;][et_pb_image src=&#8221;https:\/\/www.moraeslab.com\/biapt\/wp-content\/uploads\/UBC_20260205_PJ_9162-scaled-e1789055412476.jpg&#8221; title_text=&#8221;UBC_20260205_PJ_9162&#8243; _builder_version=&#8221;4.10.5&#8243; _module_preset=&#8221;default&#8221; max_width=&#8221;300px&#8221; module_alignment=&#8221;center&#8221; hover_enabled=&#8221;0&#8243; global_colors_info=&#8221;{}&#8221; sticky_enabled=&#8221;0&#8243;][\/et_pb_image][\/et_pb_column][\/et_pb_row][\/et_pb_section][et_pb_section fb_built=&#8221;1&#8243; _builder_version=&#8221;4.6.1&#8243; _module_preset=&#8221;default&#8221; custom_padding=&#8221;||6px|||&#8221; global_colors_info=&#8221;{}&#8221;][et_pb_row column_structure=&#8221;3_5,2_5&#8243; _builder_version=&#8221;4.6.1&#8243; _module_preset=&#8221;default&#8221; custom_padding=&#8221;||10px||false|false&#8221; global_colors_info=&#8221;{}&#8221;][et_pb_column type=&#8221;3_5&#8243; _builder_version=&#8221;4.6.1&#8243; _module_preset=&#8221;default&#8221; global_colors_info=&#8221;{}&#8221;][et_pb_text _builder_version=&#8221;4.10.5&#8243; _module_preset=&#8221;default&#8221; header_2_font=&#8221;|700|||||||&#8221; header_2_font_size=&#8221;35px&#8221; custom_margin=&#8221;||0px||false|false&#8221; custom_padding=&#8221;1px|||||&#8221; hover_enabled=&#8221;0&#8243; header_2_font_size_tablet=&#8221;&#8221; header_2_font_size_phone=&#8221;34px&#8221; header_2_font_size_last_edited=&#8221;on|phone&#8221; global_colors_info=&#8221;{}&#8221; sticky_enabled=&#8221;0&#8243;]<\/p>\n<h2>Genavieve Maloney<\/h2>\n<p><em>M.A.Sc Candidate<\/em><\/p>\n<p>[\/et_pb_text][et_pb_divider color=&#8221;#882383&#8243; divider_position=&#8221;center&#8221; divider_weight=&#8221;8px&#8221; _builder_version=&#8221;4.9.4&#8243; _module_preset=&#8221;default&#8221; width=&#8221;7%&#8221; width_tablet=&#8221;12%&#8221; width_phone=&#8221;14%&#8221; width_last_edited=&#8221;on|phone&#8221; custom_margin=&#8221;20px||35px|-50px|false|false&#8221; custom_margin_tablet=&#8221;||0px|-50px|false|false&#8221; custom_margin_phone=&#8221;20px||0px|0px|false|false&#8221; custom_margin_last_edited=&#8221;on|tablet&#8221; global_colors_info=&#8221;{}&#8221;][\/et_pb_divider][et_pb_text _builder_version=&#8221;4.9.4&#8243; _module_preset=&#8221;default&#8221; text_line_height=&#8221;1.8em&#8221; text_font_size_tablet=&#8221;&#8221; text_font_size_phone=&#8221;16px&#8221; text_font_size_last_edited=&#8221;on|phone&#8221; global_colors_info=&#8221;{}&#8221;]<\/p>\n<p>Genavieve graduated from McGill University with a Bachelor of Arts and Science in Honours Cognitive Science. Her undergraduate research examined circadian rhythms of the cerebellum in a mouse model of ataxia. She continued research in molecular neuroscience, investigating how a genetic mutation associated with schizophrenia alters the structural organization and behavioural output of the suprachiasmatic nucleus, the master regulator of the circadian system. In the BIAPT lab, Genavieve is pursuing a Master of Applied Science in Biomedical Engineering, where she investigates brain-heart interactions as a means of uncovering residual interoception in individuals who have sustained a severe brain injury. She hopes that evidence of preserved interoception can serve as a window into an individual\u2019s capacity for recovery in disorders of consciousness.<\/p>\n<p>[\/et_pb_text][\/et_pb_column][et_pb_column type=&#8221;2_5&#8243; _builder_version=&#8221;4.6.1&#8243; _module_preset=&#8221;default&#8221; global_colors_info=&#8221;{}&#8221;][et_pb_image src=&#8221;https:\/\/www.moraeslab.com\/biapt\/wp-content\/uploads\/UBC_20260205_PJ_9203-1-scaled-e1789055185349.jpg&#8221; title_text=&#8221;UBC_20260205_PJ_9203&#8243; _builder_version=&#8221;4.10.5&#8243; _module_preset=&#8221;default&#8221; max_width=&#8221;300px&#8221; module_alignment=&#8221;center&#8221; hover_enabled=&#8221;0&#8243; global_colors_info=&#8221;{}&#8221; sticky_enabled=&#8221;0&#8243;][\/et_pb_image][\/et_pb_column][\/et_pb_row][\/et_pb_section][et_pb_section fb_built=&#8221;1&#8243; _builder_version=&#8221;4.6.1&#8243; _module_preset=&#8221;default&#8221; custom_padding=&#8221;||6px|||&#8221; global_colors_info=&#8221;{}&#8221;][et_pb_row column_structure=&#8221;3_5,2_5&#8243; _builder_version=&#8221;4.6.1&#8243; _module_preset=&#8221;default&#8221; custom_padding=&#8221;||10px||false|false&#8221; global_colors_info=&#8221;{}&#8221;][et_pb_column type=&#8221;3_5&#8243; _builder_version=&#8221;4.6.1&#8243; _module_preset=&#8221;default&#8221; global_colors_info=&#8221;{}&#8221;][et_pb_text _builder_version=&#8221;4.9.4&#8243; _module_preset=&#8221;default&#8221; header_2_font=&#8221;|700|||||||&#8221; header_2_font_size=&#8221;35px&#8221; custom_margin=&#8221;||0px||false|false&#8221; custom_padding=&#8221;1px|||||&#8221; header_2_font_size_tablet=&#8221;&#8221; header_2_font_size_phone=&#8221;34px&#8221; header_2_font_size_last_edited=&#8221;on|phone&#8221; global_colors_info=&#8221;{}&#8221;]<\/p>\n<h2>Paige Whitehead<\/h2>\n<p><em>M.Sc. candidate<\/em><\/p>\n<p>[\/et_pb_text][et_pb_divider color=&#8221;#882383&#8243; divider_position=&#8221;center&#8221; divider_weight=&#8221;8px&#8221; _builder_version=&#8221;4.9.4&#8243; _module_preset=&#8221;default&#8221; width=&#8221;7%&#8221; width_tablet=&#8221;12%&#8221; width_phone=&#8221;14%&#8221; width_last_edited=&#8221;on|phone&#8221; custom_margin=&#8221;20px||35px|-50px|false|false&#8221; custom_margin_tablet=&#8221;||0px|-50px|false|false&#8221; custom_margin_phone=&#8221;20px||0px|0px|false|false&#8221; custom_margin_last_edited=&#8221;on|tablet&#8221; global_colors_info=&#8221;{}&#8221;][\/et_pb_divider][et_pb_text _builder_version=&#8221;4.9.4&#8243; _module_preset=&#8221;default&#8221; text_line_height=&#8221;1.8em&#8221; text_font_size_tablet=&#8221;&#8221; text_font_size_phone=&#8221;16px&#8221; text_font_size_last_edited=&#8221;on|phone&#8221; global_colors_info=&#8221;{}&#8221;]<\/p>\n<blockquote type=\"cite\" class=\"c-mrkdwn__quote\" data-stringify-type=\"quote\"><p>Paige Whitehead is a Master&#8217;s student in Rehabilitation Science in the School of Physical and Occupational Therapy at McGill University.
