Research Focus

My research involves clinical and epidemiologic studies of the diagnosis and treatment of tuberculosis (TB). This includes latent (dormant) TB and active TB (disease), as well as drug-sensitive and drug-resistant TB. My international reseach collaborations include work in sites in Benin, West Africa, Brazil, Indonesia and Vietnam. Within Canada, I am part of a network of TB researchers in Ottawa, Toronto, Calagary, Edmonton and Vancouver.
