Unique clinic improves primary care access for truck drivers.
Her previous work on tumors metabolism and mitochondria is still influencing the field of cancer research and has been cited over 1,300 times in peer-reviewed scientific articles. Notably, she first authored the article ‘Choosing between glycolysis and oxidative phosphorylation: A tumor’s dilemma?’, which is still today the most cited article of the Special Issue Bioenergetics of cancer in the journal Biochimica et Biophysica Acta.
Since 2017, Dr Jose has been working on optimizing access to care and support for adults diagnosed with autism in Atlantic Canada. Her research aims to draw from the experiences of patients into research to facilitate the knowledge transfer into care by collaborating various stakeholders like patients, researchers, clinicians, and policy makers.
Notably, her CONNECT project on the health and services needs of autistic adults in the Maritimes is MSSU’s first-ever patient co-led research study. She was invited along with 24 international champions in autism research to the Aging and Autism Think Thank in 2017, after the organizing members heard about the collaborative nature of the CONNECT project that was being conducted in the Maritimes.
Her collaborative research approach has been cited as best practice of engagement by the Canadian Academy of Health Science in its recommendations for the development of the Pan-Canadian Autism Strategy, by the Maritimes SPOR SUPPORT Unit, CIHR, and many other organizations or research teams.
Currently, Dr. Jose is researching the pathophysiology of autism and its related comorbidities with the aim to accelerate personalized care development, alongside multiple other research projects, such as the long-term cognitive impacts of COVID-19 and the potential of serious games as knowledge transfer tools in health research, policy, and practice.
