My research interests are focused on improving care for hospitalized children. In particular, I aim to provide risk stratification tools that allow physicians to safely allocate precious clinical resources to high-risk patients.

Additionally, I have been interested in expediting evidence synthesis and shortening the process of implementing research findings in clinical practice. Along with a multi-disciplinary team from BC Children’s Hospital and CHEO (Ottawa, ON), I have launched a platform to crowdsource the systematic review process and provide an up-to-date living synthesis of evidence. This has allowed me to identify current knowledge gaps that will help to guide future research questions.
