Luke Sequeira

Since 2016, Luke has had a passion for IPAC and patient safety, where he worked at various hospitals' IPAC departments including St. Joseph's Health Centre, Mackenzie Health Richmond Hill Hospital, Markham-Stouffville Hospital, and Mount Sinai. In 2018, Luke received his Honors Bachelor of Science from the University of Toronto, with a Specialist in Human Biology and a Minor in Applied Statistics. In 2019, he flew across the pond to the University of Glasgow, where he completed his MSc in Epidemiology of Infectious Diseases and Antimicrobial Resistance.
In 2020, during the midst of the COVID-19 pandemic, Luke joined North York General Hospital's IPAC team as an Infection Control Practitioner to help keep COVID-19 at bay. After learning about all things related to the virus and AGMPs, he achieved the CIC designation in 2022. When Luke is not at work, he attends his second full-time job; training his trusty sidekick and German Shepherd dog, Rover, to be the next generation of infection control superhero. Luke's interests include patient safety, quality improvement, infection control related to construction, and infectious disease modeling.
