Scientist, Acute Care ResearchWhat We Do
Our group is interested in developing best practice recommendations for optimal treatment of emergency department patients with skin and soft tissue infections. We aim to develop the highest quality of evidence to inform best practices by conducting randomized controlled trials to identify the best treatment options, including optimal antibiotic doses, agents and adjunctive therapies.
