About

I am a Pediatric Nephrologist at the Stollery Children’s Hospital and Professor of Pediatrics & Physiology.  I am the Canada Research Chair in epithelial transport physiology, processes that are abnormal in children with kidney disease. I mesh my research program that studies causes and consequences of pediatric kidney diseases with a clinical practice focusing on disorders of renal tubular transport, such as kidney stone formers. This work has produced more than 100 publications to date and is actively funded by CIHR, NSERC, and WCHRI. I am also heavily involved in research training, and currently lead the National Kidney Research Scientist Core Education and Training Program. I became a Distinguished Research of the Stollery Science Laboratory in 2019, and joined the WCHRI leadership in 2020 as Associate Director.
