Short Bio

I am a clinical epidemiologist and medical specialist in kidney disease and kidney transplantation. Patients with kidney failure are among those with the highest risk of heart disease, stroke, infections, bleeding, and overall frailty. They are more prone to, for example, a lung infection or a hip fracture, and have more complications after such events. At the same time, they are either poorly represented or entirely excluded from most studies that guide medical practice. Expanding research to patients with advanced kidney disease and kidney failure would better inform their care.

I am always looking to work with other researchers, graduate and undergraduate students, and medical trainees on projects that can inform the care of patients with kidney disease or that improve research methodology.

My primary areas of focus currently involve:

  • Preventing bleeding and transfusion during and after surgery, and especially in people with kidney failure where blood transfusion may delay access to kidney transplantation
  • Reducing the risk of medical complications in the weeks to months after surgery
  • Reducing chronic inflammation in patients with kidney disease to prevent cardiovascular events
  • Large simple trials in hemodialysis

In collaboration with hundreds of investigators around the world, I am actively involved in:

  • Randomized controlled trials
  • Prospective observational studies
  • Development and evaluation of clinical prediction models
  • Pharmacokinetic studies
  • Evaluation of biomarkers
  • Systematic reviews with meta-analysis or qualitative synthesis
  • Statistical programming and simulation
