Research Focus

My research focuses on clinical research on endocrine tumors. I am especially interested in these following areas: acromegaly (in the Canadian context, early diagnosis, optimal management of mild, low grade disease), prolactinomas (metabolic and autoimmune consequences of hyperprolactinemia), neuroendocrine tumors (clinical characteristics and management in the Canadian context), thyroid cancer (ultrasonography and longterm outcomes), impact of multidisciplinary team management in outcomes in pituitary, adrenal.
