My research interest is on the short and long-term kidney outcomes of children following various critical illnesses, such as intensive care admission, premature birth, and pediatric cancer. As these children’s kidney function usually normalizes in the short-term after the acute illness, long-term monitoring of kidney health is often neglected. My research aims to determine which of these children need long-term monitoring in order to facilitate implementation of health system changes which promote improved kidney health for these children into their adult lives.

Unlocking the mystery of nephrotic syndrome in kids: Q&A with new investigator Dr. Susan Samuel
Pediatric nephrologist Dr. Susan Samuel, a new investigator who joined BCCHR in September 2024, has been investigating ways to improve the quality of life of children diagnosed with nephrotic syndrome.
