Improving Pediatric Home Ventilation Across Western Canada
Welcome to the Castro-Codesal Research Lab! Located at Department of Pediatrics, University of Alberta in Edmonton, Canada, our lab is dedicated to pioneering research that places families at the heart of healthcare improvement.

Through close partnerships with healthcare professionals and parents/caregivers, we aim to influence clinical practice and foster inclusive, compassionate care for all families. Read more >
