Biomarkers in Huntington disease
I work on using neuroimaging to better understand ALS and related disorders. My projects include applying machine learning to study neurodegeneration, exploring fMRI as a possible clinical trial tool, investigating MRI and PET biomarkers, using texture analysis to detect subtle changes, and developing staging and prognosis models that may help design more precise trials.

Maternal weight gain is closely monitored during pregnancy, because as pregnancy weight gain increases, so does the risk of maternal postpartum weight retention, diabetes, and high blood pressure. While lower weight gain may prevent these health outcomes, it may also increase risk of fetal growth restriction and perinatal death. Thus, public health recommendations on optimal pregnancy weight gain that balances these risks are important, especially in countries as Canada, where the proportion of overweight and obesity among women and children has been increasing.
Modelling return on investment for women's health research in Canada.
