Research Interests: To determine neuroprotective strategies to improve outcomes for patients suffering an acute central nervous system injury. We conduct studies across the translational continuum in pre-clinical disease models, healthy human studies, and clinical patient studies to characterize the pathophysiology of acute traumatic and/or ischemic central nervous system injury. This includes a focus on determining how we can optimize oxygen delivery to the brain and spinal cord following an acute injury.

Research Interests: The overall goals of my research are to investigate how physical activity behaviours relate to current and long-term health outcomes in children in both clinical and community-based settings, and to identify strategies to improve physical activity participation in children. I collaborate with Interior Health on projects relating to pediatric diabetes and BC Children's Hospital Research Institute to address physical activity behaviours in children and youth with congenital heart disease.
