Cystic Fibrosis (CF) is my area of interest in research. I have conducted quality improvement to optimize nutrition care in CF and am keen to develop and participate in future projects.
Current Projects
Retrospective review of growth parameters of CF patients before and after a pulmonary exacerbation and to identify factors associated failure to return to baseline growth trajectory (submitted as abstract to 2013 North American Cystic Fibrosis Conference)
Current Projects
Pulmonary Exacerbations have a Long Term Impact on Growth in Children with Cystic Fibrosis (self-funded)
Human DNA testing could improve outcomes for patients with COVID-19.
That’s the key idea put forth in preliminary research posted this month to bioRxiv that highlights the potential benefits of testing COVID-19 patients for genetic variants of ACE2—the protein identified as the point-of-entry for the SARS-COV-2 virus into human cells.
We believe there’s nothing we can’t do with your support. It can take years to turn scientific breakthrough into new interventions and treatments. Funding helps speed the pace of change. When given the resources, we can bring transformative therapies – and hope – out of the laboratory and into the clinic to save and improve children’s lives.
