Catrina Loucks, PhD,
Emerging Faculty Invited Lecturer, Assistant Professor, UBC
Dr. Loucks is a scientist at the BC Children’s Hospital Research Institute. She is working to improve pain management in women and children by identifying genetic factors that can help predict an individual’s need for, and subsequent response to, specific analgesics. Additionally, she is working to translate genetic discoveries into improvements in clinical care. Together, her work will allow for more individualized risk-benefit decisions for pain management in women and children, while also contributing to the discovery of novel components of pain response and treatment strategies.
