1) Intracerebral Hemorrhage (ICH). ICH is the most devastating form of stroke, resulting in the highest mortality and disability rates. My group is working towards a definitive treatment for ICH. 2) Neuroimaging & acute stroke. I believe advanced brain imaging can optimize acute stroke therapy, guide therapeutic decision-making, and expand our current treatment windows. 3) Stroke Recovery. We have launched a series of studies evaluating the use of mobile-platform technologies to enhance recovery from stroke while in the acute care hospital.

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
