Grant: CIHR New Investigator

My research evaluates how genomic tests are integrated into clinical practice and public health programs, and how they impact patients, families, providers and health services. The main themes of my research are: 1) evaluating the benefits and risks of new genomic tests and technologies; 2) developing tools to translate new genomic tests and technologies into clinical care; and, 3) informing clinical practice and health policy on the use of new genomic technologies. The expected outcomes of my research are to develop the evidence, tools and guidelines to appropriately and effectively translate genomic knowledge and technologies in clinical practice and public health programs. By engaging the public, patients and health care providers about the use and impact of adopting new genomic technologies in heath care, my research will support decision makers and inform practice on translating appropriate and effective genomic technologies into the clinic for the benefit of Canadians.
