Snapshot

My research interest is focused on the following areas: pain epidemiology, biomarkers, studies assessing the risk factors associated with the transition from acute to chronic pain and persistence of pain, RCTs assessing the effectiveness of pain management, and studies investigating the association between opioids, pneumonia and cancer risks. Much of my research is international, with collaborative projects in Canada, the USA, Brazil, the United Kingdom, France, Netherland, India, and Japan.
