About Dr. Gebien MD (ABEM), MSc (Pathology)

Practicing medical doctor in Toronto, Canada.

Completed a Masters degree in pathology (study of diseases) from McGill University, Montreal, Canada.
Came across a fascinating case in early 2023 that prompted independent research in SIDS and other sudden unexpected deaths in children.
Published two papers and two letters to editors in 2024, all peer reviewed, on diaphragm pathology in infants and sudden unexpected deaths in all ages (with thanks to Dr. Michael Eisenhut and Prof. Paul Goldwater).
Primary goal is to experimentally validate the proposed novel SIDS mechanism (spontaneous diaphragm cramp-contracture or DCC).
