Research information:

I have expertise in Canadian and international health systems, humanitarian crises (wars, natural disasters, refugee crises), and high-consequence infectious disease outbreaks (Ebola, Marburg, COVID, influenza, cholera, measles, etc.). In my current role, I am the lead on Canadian health policy issues for Canada’s respiratory therapy profession, and draw on my background as a respiratory therapist in the acute care and long-term care sectors to speak authoritatively on respiratory illnesses (RSV, influenza, pneumonia, COVID, etc.), Canadian healthcare access, pharmacare, and national health policy. As a researcher, I conduct research into health service access among older adults and marginalised populations, particularly the health needs of older adults during emergencies such as natural disasters and during wars, and the development and use of experimental medical countermeasures (vaccines, therapies, diagnostics) for diseases such as Ebola, Marburg, Lassa, avian influenza, and COVID-19. I spent a decade working with Doctors Without Borders/Médecins Sans Frontières (MSF), including as the organization's Humanitarian Representative to Canada where I led humanitarian diplomacy during wars and conflicts disease epidemics, refugee crises, and natural disasters. I have on-the-ground experience in Afghanistan, Haiti, Democratic Republic of Congo, Bangladesh, and the Central African Republic. I bring first-hand insights into how humanitarian crises, diplomacy, foreign policy, and health security intersect. Key commentary areas: Emerging and neglected infectious disease threats & medical countermeasures Respiratory health, respiratory illnesses, Canadian health policy, national pharmacare, and access to healthcare challenges (wait times, quality of care, professional practice) Canada’s role in humanitarian diplomacy and crisis response Health system strengthening in fragile and conflict affected states Intersections of foreign policy, disasters/conflict, and global health security Affiliations: Senior Director, Public Policy, Canadian Society of Respiratory Therapists; Investigator, Bruyère Health Research Institute, Ottawa; Adjunct Professor of Common Law, University of Ottawa Centre for Health Law, Policy & Ethics

Research information:

My interest is in examining how intellectual property rights or legal frameworks for governance and protection of knowledge have diverse impacts on many spheres, including but not limited to agriculture, food security, biotechnology, biodiversity conservation, biosafety, human rights (access to health, education and benefits of technology/scientific advancements, etc). I am also concerned with the nature of interaction or impact that intellectual property rights have in regard to developmental aspirations of marginalized peoples, especially indigenous and local communities across the globe. Most of my work focus on mapping and understanding the interface of intellectual property and development. I also work within the broader international political relations of power between Africa, indeed, the global south and the global north.
