Lori B. Tucker

MD

Investigator, BC Children's Hospital

My clinical research focus areas include prediction of outcomes for children with juvenile idiopathic arthritis and improving care through longitudinal outcomes registries, study of physical activity in children with juvenile idiopathic arthritis, transition of youth with rheumatic disease to adult care, and translational research in autoinflammatory disease. The strong partnerships of our Division of Pediatric Rheumatology as well as pan-Canadian collaborators in the Canadian Alliance for Pediatric Rheumatology Investigators fuel my research projects and ensure successful translation of research results to practice. I have particular interest in creative knowledge translation in pediatric rheumatology research, and active inclusion of patients and families into research.
