I am a PhD geneticist and clinical teratologist at the University of British Columbia. My research explores how chronic conditions in pregnancy and the medications used to treat them influence fetal development. I also co-direct TERIS, an internationally recognized teratology resource that supports healthcare professionals in assessing risks of exposures during pregnancy, and lead PEAR-Net Society, a Canadian non-profit advancing research and education on maternal and child health.
