Research Focus

My research focuses on optimizing outcomes of a number of common pediatric surgical diseases and studying innovations in the treatment of chest wall anomalies. I am also initiating a large research effort in enhanced recovery after surgery, patient-reported outcomes, and patient-centred care. I am interested in elevating the quality of pediatric surgical research through engaging in prospective studies, clinical trials, and multi-centre research. I currently serve as Chair of the Canadian Consortium for Research in Pediatric Surgery (CanCORPS). This consortium consists of 15 pediatric surgical centres across Canada which have come together to perform clinical research aimed at minimizing variability in care and optimizing patient outcomes through collaboration and innovation. Finally, I am heavily involved in global surgery and interested in studying ways of increasing pediatric surgical capacity in low resource settings.
