As part of this International collaborative group, Dr. Gowdy is leading a systematic review into the role of metabolic PET parameters to act as a biomarker of disease for children and young adults with Hodgkin lymphoma to aid upfront risk stratification and direct clinicians to those high-risk individuals who may benefit from intensification of therapy.PETool
Train and validate an automated segmentation technique using an AI tool developed at UBC to delineate disease in children and young adults with lymphoma. Use the segmentations to calculate metabolic PET parameters and radiomic features as we work to identify biomarkers of disease which can stage and evaluate response of disease to therapy.Honours & Awards2025 - Patient Champion, Medical Staff Committee
Study examines how pediatric residents across Canada use interpreters to care for patients
Inclusive care comprises a patient's right to communicate in the language they’re most comfortable with. Aware of its importance, BCCHR has helped lead changes that can improve health equity and ensure high-quality care. In the first of a two-part series, you’ll learn about research that examined how medical interpreter services are accessed and used by residents in pediatric training centres across Canada.
