Dr. Kevin Hay is an Associate Scientist at the Terry Fox Laboratory. Dr. Hay received a Master of Science in Immunology at the University of Manitoba (2008), followed by an MD (2011). After completing residency in Internal Medicine (2014) and a clinical fellowship in Haematology (2016) at the University of British Columbia, he was awarded a scholarship through the Clinician Investigator Program of UBC to pursue a postdoctoral fellowship in cellular immunotherapy which he completed at the Fred Hutchinson Cancer Research Center in Seattle Washington under the mentorship of Dr. Cameron Turtle. Dr. Hay’s research focuses on understanding the unique toxicities associated with chimeric antigen receptor T (CAR-T) cells, as well as the development of novel CAR-T cell therapies.

In 2023 Dr. Hay joined University of Calgary and Charbonneau Cancer Institute as a  Clinician Scientist and Associate Professor. Dr. Hay's Lab is presently located at the University of Calgary.  All inquiries regarding supervision and operations should be directed there.
