Dr. Paul has worked closely with Industry partners for almost two decades. At Toronto General Hospital, he created the Time Resolved Imaging and Image Optimization (TRIIO) Core Laboratory to provide a collaborative environment for industry-academic research partnerships with Industry scientists embedded within the research team. He has expanded this concept in London, through co-creation of the Bionext facility, a unique interactive environment for industry- academic research collaborations that occupies the entire 6th floor of the Robarts Research Institute. Dr Paul has continued to develop strong industry academic partnerships with the creation of five national centres of excellence in London.

Dr. Paul has also a keen interest in teaching and education, having established the following: • The National Primer in Imaging (UK), a successful three-day course teaching relevant radiology to non-radiologists. • The Annual Peter Munk Cardiac Centre (PMCC) Symposium, a highly successful two-day conference that highlights the advanced and integrative, patient centered care in the PMCC to community partners • The Advanced Imaging and Education Centre (AIEC) at Toronto General Hospital. The vision of the AIEC is to provide advanced training in imaging techniques for residents and fellows, technologists, and MDs. The AIEC offers a five-day intensive course in Cardiac CT and a three-day course in Virtual Colonoscopy for National and International students. In London, Dr Paul has transformed the Annual London Imaging Discovery Day (LIDD) into a research and clinical translation scientific day.

Dr. Paul currently serves on several regional and provincial panels that focus on the current and emerging needs of diagnostic imaging for the Ontario population and health care system.
