Research Focus

My research focuses on sleep-disordered breathing (SDB) under three themes: innovative diagnostic and therapeutic strategies; upper airway neuromuscular dysfunction; and cardiovascular and reproductive health, with projects in congestive heart failure and adverse effects of maternal SDB on pregnancy outcomes. I am funded by the CIHR, FRQ-S, industry and the MS Society of Canada.
