State-of-the art science is required to investigate the research gaps and complexities of maternal-fetal transmission of Lyme and will require a collaborative, disciplinary, multi-stakeholder ‘relay-team’ approach, which values an integrative model of bringing together patients with lived experience, front-line clinicians, clinical researchers, Government officials and scientists to collectively identify, propose and carry out further investigation.

"We are taking a stand against an escalating threat [of Lyme disease in Canada], and we are doing so by taking a very powerful weapon to that table.. and that weapon is science." 
​
"one of the unique things we offer in this lab is a clinical academic pipeline and that's what really sets us apart. What we are trying to develop here is this idea that we are going to be working with patients as stakeholders and collaborators in research and that we're studying the conditions that they find relevant..."

"We don't want to do research that doesn't have clinical significance, we want to bring something to the clinic that will impact the health of Canadians."
