Dr. Alan Bernstein\u2019s leadership has transformed science policy, CIFAR\u2019s advancements over the last decade, and the next generation of researchers. His former trainees, now leaders in their fields, share stories on the profound impact of Dr. Bernstein\u2019s mentorship on their careers.<\/span><\/h2>\n

Before co-founding Moderna Inc.<\/a>, a biotech company that would take centre stage in COVID-19 vaccine development, Derrick Rossi was a young master\u2019s student in Dr. Alan Bernstein\u2019s lab.<\/p>\n

\u201cI remember he was a very bright guy but hadn\u2019t yet settled on a career path,\u201d recalls Bernstein<\/a>, President & CEO of CIFAR. \u201cHe came to me and asked, \u2018What should I do next?\u2019 I said, \u2018You know, you can either go on to do your PhD, or you could take a year off and decide what you want to do. And if I can help you with whatever you want to do next, I will.\u2019\u201d<\/p>\n

\n

\u201cThroughout the history of science, it\u2019s been early-career researchers who have made breakthrough advances and revolutionized thinking about an important problem.\u201d<\/p>\n

Shortly afterwards, with support from Bernstein, Rossi decided to take some time off, hitchhiking through East and Central Africa, before living and working in Paris, France.<\/p>\n

\u201cAlan was a great mentor and superb science thinker. I don\u2019t know how many times I saw him ask exactly the most probing and insightful question at a seminar he happened to attend. Truly an impressive scientist and inspiring role model,\u201d says Rossi.<\/p>\n

Bernstein\u2019s transformative influence can be found in his leadership at CIFAR, in science and in health research, and in his mentorship of former trainees such as Rossi.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe next generation are so critical to the future of science,\u201d says Bernstein. \u201cThroughout the history of science, it\u2019s been early-career researchers who have made breakthrough advances and revolutionized thinking about an important problem. Early-career researchers have at least two advantages: they don\u2019t own the past and they don\u2019t have a vested interest in what\u2019s gone before.\u201d<\/p>\n

Alexandra Joyner, a world expert in mouse developmental genetics at the Sloan Kettering Cancer Institute<\/a> in New York, describes Bernstein as a master communicator, who helped develop her into a clearer and more confident communicator in both giving talks and writing papers.<\/p>\n

\u201cHe also helped me learn how to look at the big picture and watch for exciting new areas to explore,\u201d says Joyner. \u201cHe encouraged me to take risks in my science.\u201d<\/p>\n

Taking risks in science is at the core of Bernstein\u2019s mentorship philosophy. He believes it is paramount to allow students to be creative and learn by failure.<\/p>\n

Alexandra Joyner, Member, Developmental Biology Program, Sloan Kettering Cancer Institute<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n

\u201c\u200b\u200bI give my students a very long leash to fail,\u201d he says. \u201cWe all learn from our mistakes. We all learn from our successes, too. So it\u2019s important for students to have failures and to have successes. It\u2019s our job as mentors to make sure that they don\u2019t choose a problem that is impossible, but one that is doable and important \u2014 and then support them in any way we can.\u201d<\/p>\n

Robert Rottapel is now a senior investigator and co-leader of the Ovarian Cancer Translational Research Initiative<\/a> at the Ontario Institute for Cancer Research. As a postdoctoral fellow in Bernstein\u2019s lab, he recalls that the greatest gift he got from Bernstein was the lesson that science is a human activity.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe success of research is measured by the character and creativity of the people who you work with,\u201d says Rottapel. \u201cAlan created an environment of intense creativity, a demand for excellence and an ambition to make a difference in science. The level of scientific, personal and social interaction within his lab was intense and profound. It is something that I have tried to replicate in my own laboratory.\u201d<\/p>\n

Both Rottapel and Joyner have now mentored their own generations of leaders, carrying Bernstein\u2019s values, lessons and research expertise forward.<\/p>\n

Joyner remembers that soon after graduation, Bernstein told her he worried that her drive as an independent researcher would be too focused on the projects at hand, depriving her of the necessary mentoring time and the dedicated time she would need for her trainees, to help them grow.<\/p>\n

\u201cIt was a wake-up call that I have tried to keep in mind throughout my 35-plus years running a lab,\u201d says Joyner.<\/p>\n

In September 2021, Bernstein announced that he would not be seeking renewal for a third five-year term at CIFAR. The reason is once again a nod to the next generation. CIFAR is set to celebrate its 40-year anniversary, an opportunity to celebrate the past but also to look ahead and achieve greater goals.<\/p>\n

\u201cMy reason for not seeking a third term is quite straightforward and goes back to what I believe about the importance of the next generation and the future of science and science-based organizations like CIFAR. This is a great organization that plays a critically important and unique role in the global research landscape. I feel very proud of what everyone on the CIFAR team has accomplished over the past nine-and-a-half years. This is the right time for fresh leadership and new perspectives to take CIFAR to the next level,\u201d says Bernstein.<\/p>\n
