Biography
Dr. Amin is the Director of Long-term Ventilation and Sleep Medicine at the Hospital for Sick Children. She is a Senior Associate Scientist in Child Health Evaluative Sciences at the SickKids Research Institute. She is a Professor of Pediatrics at the University of Toronto and is also cross-appointed to the Department of Health Policy, Management and Evaluation at the University of Toronto. Dr. Amin’s research focuses on improving outcomes for children using long-term ventilation at home and their families. Her team is developing and evaluating interventions aimed at supporting patients and families transitioning home with new medical technologies to decrease caregiver burden, reduce preventable healthcare utilization and associated costs and promote patient safety. An emerging research aim is the evaluation of novel therapeutics aimed at treating the underlying biology of neuromuscular disease. Her research program will characterize the ‘new natural history’ of these patients, as well as their clinical outcomes from the respiratory perspective.
