Biography:

After graduating as an MD in 2015 from Semmelweis University in Budapest, Hungary, she pursued a PhD degree in clinical medicine, during which she conducted research on optimizing the intensive care of infants who received therapeutic hypothermia for hypoxic-ischemic encephalopathy (HIE). As part of her training, she completed the Program in Clinical Effectiveness at Harvard School of Public Health that enables her to pursue a degree in master of public health.

Given her special interest in therapy optimization for infants with HIE, she joined the Neonatal Research Group at Brigham and Women’s Hospital in Boston in 2019. Within the framework of this postdoctoral fellowship she initiated a clinical trial to investigate the accuracy of transcutaneous carbon-dioxide measurement and cerebral autoregulation in infants with HIE. Currently, she serves as a council member of European Society for Paediatric Research, Early Career Investigator Section.

As a provincial research institute committed to improving the health outcomes of women, including those across the 2SLGBTQIA+ spectrum, we recognize our responsibility in the collective effort towards establishing culturally safe health care systems and services that address health inequities among Indigenous peoples, especially Indigenous women, girls, and Two-spirit peoples.

We encourage all people involved in research to read both the Truth and Reconciliation Commission of Canada: Calls to Action and the In Plain Sight Report, and reflect on ways we can incorporate the recommendations into our work. As we gather in spaces together, we encourage you to reflect on your positionality on these lands and your personal commitments to reconciliation.
