My research focuses on improving the understanding of how chromosomal abnormalities result in an abnormal phenotype (e.g. cancer, malformations, or intellectual disability). I am also interested in the applications of genomics to the area of clinical diagnosis.

New study finds girls in rural B.C. at highest risk of self-poisoning
A new study led by researchers from the BC Injury Research and Prevention Unit found girls in rural B.C. communities with poor access to local mental health services are at the highest risk of intentionally poisoning themselves. The most common substance used was non-opioid painkillers and the second most common substance used was medication for anxiety and depression.
