Biography

My primary area of interest is in the biology, management, and late effects of childhood brain and spinal cord tumors. I participate in the Children's Oncology Group (COG), a North American multi-institutional collaboration in treatment of childhood cancer and clinical and supportive care trials. I also participate in the Canadian Pediatric Brain Tumour Consortium, where we collaborate nationally in conducting research in pediatric brain tumors. Locally, I participate in research at the clinical level where treatments, quality of life, late effects of treatments, and other clinically-related questions are evaluated.
