She is a clinical epidemiologist with a primary research interest 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, 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 included patient partners in her adherence studies. 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.

She is also Chair of The Transplantation Society’s Women in Transplantation initiative.
