Dr. Ke completed her medical school at UBC, anesthesiology residency at Dalhousie University and received a Master of Science in Epidemiology from the Harvard School of Public Health. Her research interests include understanding the impact of extreme weather and climate change on perioperative outcomes, predicting and monitoring for complications after surgery at a population level, and use and evaluation of artificial intelligence in clinical research and patient care. She leads the ADAPT Lab, which studies the health impact of emerging environmental hazards, and integrates these insights to improve outcomes and strengthen health system resilience (adaptlab.med.ubc.ca).
