Investigator and Pediatric Respirologist, BC Children's Hospital

Dr. Wallace Wee is a Pediatric Respirologist with a PhD in clinical epidemiology and a unique background that bridges medicine, engineering and clinical epidemiology. Wallace is passionate about innovation in healthcare, improving patient outcomes, exploring AI in medicine and driving research excellence. He envisions and endeavors to develop a research program that improves our understanding of lung disease through the (1) clinical translation of technologies to improve patient care and monitoring of lung diseases, (2) use of clinical epidemiologic approaches in lung diseases to understand patient outcomes and (3) exploration of the use of artificial intelligence in disease management.

Wallace enthusiastically welcomes the opportunity to collaborate with individuals who share his vision of pushing the boundaries of pediatric care.
