During his PhD, he developed and validated an MRI-based approach to quantify placental function in healthy human and sheep pregnancies by measuring oxygen transport and consumption. In his current role, he is investigating the performance of this MRI-based approach in assessing placental function in pregnancies affected by various placental hemodynamic impairments, including placental insufficiency and invasive placentation. Through MRI research his aim is to establish a basis for a non-invasive approach to measure placental function during pregnancy, thereby enhancing clinical diagnosis, decision-making, and the accuracy of fetal health monitoring. Additionally, he supports other clinical and pre-clinical research projects in the lab, which span congenital heart disease and neurodevelopment including CHILD-BRIGHT Phase 2, cardiovascular physiology in a fetal sheep model of human pregnancy, and the development of an artificial placenta in a fetal pig model.\n\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t<\/div>\n\t<\/div>\n\t<div class=\"ult-overlay-close top-right\" style=\"width:80px;height:80px; background-color: #000000FA;border-radius: 50%;padding:10px;box-sizing: content-box;\"><div class=\"ult-overlay-close-inside\">Close<\/div><\/div>\n<\/div>[\/vc_column][vc_column width=&#8221;1\/4&#8243;][vc_single_image image=&#8221;798&#8243; alignment=&#8221;center&#8221; style=&#8221;vc_box_circle&#8221;][vc_column_text css=&#8221;.vc_custom_1755628561166{margin-bottom: 0px !important;}&#8221;]<strong>Steven Ufkes, M.Sc.<\/strong><\/p>\n<p><i>Bioinformatician, Research Manager<\/i><\/p>\n<p><i>University of British Columbia, Department of Pediatrics<\/i>[\/vc_column_text]<div id=\"modal-trg-txt-wrap-7338\" class=\"ult-modal-input-wrapper ult-adjust-bottom-margin    \" data-keypress-control=\"keypress-control-enable\" data-overlay-control=\"overlay-control-enable\"><button  data-ultimate-target='#modal-trg-txt-wrap-7338 .btn-modal'  data-responsive-json-new='{\"font-size\":\"\",\"line-height\":\"\"}'  style=\"background:#1E73BE;border-color:#1E73BE;color:#FFFFFF; \" data-class-id=\"content-69d999e3097728-97361142\" class=\"btn-modal ult-responsive btn-primary btn-modal-block overlay-show ult-align-center btn-id-69d999e3097728-97361142\" data-overlay-class=\"overlay-cornerbottomleft\">See Mr. Ufkes's Bio<\/button><\/div>\n<div class=\"ult-overlay content-69d999e3097728-97361142 \" data-class=\"content-69d999e3097728-97361142\" id=\"button-click-overlay\" style=\"background:rgba(51,51,51,0.8); display:none;\">\n\t<div class=\"ult_modal ult-fade ult-small\">\n\t\t<div id=\"ult-modal-wrap-1834\" class=\"ult_modal-content ult-hide\" style=\"border-style:solid;border-width:2px;border-radius:0px;border-color:#333333;\">\n\t\t\t<div class=\"ult_modal-header\" style=\"color:#333333;border-color:#333333;\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"modal-icon\"><i class=\"Defaults-user\"><\/i><\/div><h3  data-ultimate-target='#ult-modal-wrap-1834 .ult_modal-title'  data-responsive-json-new='{\"font-size\":\"\",\"line-height\":\"\"}'  class=\"ult_modal-title ult-responsive\">See Mr. Ufkes's Bio<\/h3>\n\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t<div  data-ultimate-target='#ult-modal-wrap-1834 .ult_modal-body'  data-responsive-json-new='{\"font-size\":\"\",\"line-height\":\"\"}'  class=\"ult_modal-body ult-responsive ult-html\" style=\"\">\n\t\t\tSteven completed his Master\u2019s degree in the Department of Physics at the University of Toronto.
