Bethany Foster
Dr. Bethany Foster is the director of the Division of Pediatric Nephrology at the Montreal Children’s Hospital, a clinical epidemiologist and a Professor of Pediatrics at Ï㽶ÊÓƵ. Her primary research interest is in the long term outcomes of children and young adults with kidney transplants. Dr. Foster has been funded by CIHR and NIH to study immunosuppressive medication adherence and graft outcomes in adolescent and young adult kidney transplant recipients, whom she has identified to be at particularly high risk of graft loss. She has also highlighted important differences in renal allograft outcomes by recipient sex, the magnitude and direction of which vary by recipient age and by donor sex.
