My research encompasses advanced imaging techniques as they apply to children. Prior projects encompassed imaging of heart, lung and airway problems in children.

Current Projects
1. Utility of dual energy CT in children; in particular as it pertains to lung perfusion in congenital heart disease. This is a retrospective study looking at patients that were imaged using dual energy CT that have pulmonary arterial disease.
2. Utility of hyperpolarized 129Xe functional pulmonary MRI in children with interstitial lung disease. This is a collaborative project with Dr. Jonathan Rayment.
A pan-Canadian team has developed a new way to quickly find personalized treatments for young cancer patients, by growing their tumours in chicken eggs and analyzing their proteins.
The team, led by researchers from BC Children’s Hospital Research Institute and the University of British Columbia, is the first in Canada to combine these two techniques to identify and test a drug for a young patient's tumour in time for their treatment.
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.
