I am an MD/PhD candidate and Vanier Scholar at the University of British Columbia. My work with Dr. Liam Brunham, Dr. John Boyd, and colleagues utilizes clinical data and genetics to understand:
why people suffer from premature heart attacks, stokes, and other cardiovascular events;
why people with severe infections respond differently to therapeutic treatment and risk of long-term adverse outcomes; and
how metabolic traits modulate the human immune and coagulation response.
The overall goal of this work is to improve the practice of preventative medicine for metabolic and infectious illnesses which are associated with a large proportion of human morbidity and mortality.
