Research Focus

My research focuses on the epidemiology, diagnosis, treatment, and prevention of severe viral lower respiratory tract infections in children. I actively engage in knowledge translation in my field by contributing to national and provincial guidelines on RSV immunoprophylaxis, influenza antiviral treatment, and SARS-CoV-2 diagnostics and treatment. I am also a voting member of Canada's National Advisory Committee on Immunization (NACI) and chair of NACI’s influenza working group.

Research initiative
Site investigator, and influenza and respiratory syncytial virus (RSV) data captain for Canada’s Immunization Monitoring Program ACTive (IMPACT) surveillance network.
