FCCMG, BSc, MDCM, FRCPC

Investigator Emeritus, BC Children's Hospital

The main focus of my work is the investigation of the complex series of events at the cellular and tissue level that are at play in the evolution and of genetic disease. It is hoped that an understanding of disease at this level will result in the development of specific forms of therapy for rare genetic disease. My group has chosen to focus on a series of devastating progressive disorders termed lysosomal storage diseases.
