Diabetes Related Research:

Diabetes-related injuries affect virtually all the major organs, leading to an epidemic of macrovascular and microvascular complications that lead to organ failure. My research program is focused on developing novel imaging modalities for the examination of diabetic-related injuries in various organs such as the kidney, liver, heart, and skin. I direct the Translational Ultrasound and Photoacoustic Imaging Laboratory (TUPIL) at St. Michael’s Hospital. I am particularly interested in quantitative ultrasound and photoacoustic imaging, two related modalities that have a lot of potential for simultaneous examinations of whole organ structure and function, across multiple biological length scales. Our techniques are capable of assessing vascular injuries, and their impact on organ fibrosis. These modalities have been deployed in preclinical studies in the kidney and liver, and are currently used in a clinical trial at St. Michael’s Hospital in assessing the degree of fibrovascular injury in kidney transplants, which are often impacted by diabetic nephropathies present in donors.
