Respiratory
Over the last 15 years I have developed a research interest into non-CF Bronchiectasis. This focused primarily on primary ciliary dyskinesia. I developed a new method for the evaluation of function of the microscopic hairs (cilia) which line the airways of the lung. This has been standardized and now used as an accepted method for the diagnosis of primary ciliary dyskinesia and research platform.
Cystic Fibrosis
Cystic Fibrosis (CF) research is another significant research area. I am the PI on several clinical trials looking at new medications in CF patients.
I coordinate the CF clinic multidisciplinary research program and this is promoting research into nursing, physiotherapy, pharmacy and dietetic issues within CF. Current themes are transitional care to adulthood; physiotherapy interventions; location of CF care and outcome in adolescence and adherence to medication. We work closely with the adult CF clinic at St. Paul's on several joint projects.

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.
