My field of interest is nutrition. My research training (PhD, postdoc) and clinical training/expertise in gastroenterology have facilitated my participation in nutrition research and education. My research encompasses translational research in neonatal intestinal failure, a devastating health condition that leads to prolonged morbidity and increased mortality in young children. Related to my research expertise I was appointed Chair of the Research Committee for the American Society for Parenteral and Enteral Nutrition (APSEN) in 2014 - 2016, Chair of the Nutrition Committee for the North American Society of Pediatric Gastroenterology, Hepatology and Nutrition, 2014 - 2019 and I have been a member of the Canadian Institutes of Health Research Doctoral Awards Committee since 2013. All my research endeavors are enhanced by clinical experience with children with short gut syndrome and intestinal failure.
