- Overview
-
My research uses ultrasound to image the hip and shoulder joints of young children to evaluate and guide treatment for abnormal development of the joint. If not treated at a young age, abnormal development of these joints leads to significant long-term disabilities.

Cutting-edge genomic technology to help improve medication safety for children in new BC Children’s led study
Dr. Bruce Carleton will be leading a new $17 million project to make medications safer for children across Canada. By uncovering the genetic variations in patients that can lead to adverse drug reactions, this research could help explain differing medication responses and improve disease outcomes.
