- Overview
-
The central goal of my work is the promotion of brain health across the lifecycle through a specific focus on fetal and newborn brain health. Our lab aims to further an understanding of the causes and outcomes of neurological conditions that present prenatally, identify modifiable predictors of brain injuries across the perinatal age spectrum spanning the 20th week of gestation through the first month of age, and ultimately, develop and evaluate novel strategies to improve long-term neurological outcomes. Our work evolves from family and community stakeholder engagement and interdisciplinary collaboration.

Multicenter Registry of Fetal Ventriculomegaly
Fetal ventriculomegaly is among the most common neurological conditions identified prenatally, affecting up to 1% of all pregnancies. This contemporary cohort study of fetal ventriculomegaly will examine the etiologies and perinatal outcomes of fetal ventriculomegaly from centers across Canada and the United States to address key knowledge gaps that impact counseling and care. The second phase of this study will evaluate developmental outcomes in early childhood.Coagulation Biomarkers of Post-Hemorrhagic Ventriculomegaly in Preterm Newborns (CoVe study)
With collaborators at the University of California, San Francisco (UCSF), including co-Principal Investigator Dr. Mark Petersen, we prospectively recruited 50 very preterm newborns, and collected serial plasma and urine samples. We are examining the association of markers of coagulation, oxidative stress and neurodegeneration with intraventricular hemorrhage, as well as posthemorrhagic ventricular dilatation and hydrocephalus. Proteomic analysis of >1100 plasma proteins and analysis of a subset of urine biomarkers of brain injury is underway.Trexo-Robotic Exoskeleton Training in Young Children with Cerebral Palsy (T-REx study)
New technologies are offering new opportunities to promote mobility in children with motor impairment. The purpose of this study is to examine the acceptability and feasibility of robotic exoskeleton training in children aged 1-3 years diagnosed with, or at high risk for, cerebral palsy.GrantsPrincipal Investigator.

BCCHR laboratories hosting Indigenous students for seed2STEM program
For the first time, BC Children’s Hospital Research Institute (BCCHR) is participating as one of the host institutes in the seed2STEM program — a research summer program that aims to increase participation in science, technology, engineering, and mathematics (STEM) among Indigenous youth.
