Investigator, BC Children's Hospital

In the area of stem cell research, our team concerns itself with the efficient and productive collection of stem cells with a goal to maximal harvest and surveillance of mrd. Of particular interest is research into processes that will allow maximal efficient cell harvest in very young children.

In collaboration with the onsite laboratories, we hope to explore the potential of product manipulation related to dendritic and cellular therapies.

My interests extend to the issues highlighting cross-cultural care as well as the psychosocial issues that present to the patients and families within different cultural populations. Work has also begun on the investigation of alternative or complimentary medical practices in the field of pediatric oncology.
