She previously held a Canadian Institutes of Health Research (CIHR) New Investigator Award from the Institute of Human Development, Child and Youth Health and is a previous recipient of the Early Researcher Award from the Ministry of Research and Innovation for her work on ‘Tackling Childhood Obesity, starting with MOM’. More recently, she was profiled as one of the Canadian Society for Exercise Physiology’s (CSEP) most notable women, who leads a diverse interdisciplinary research program focusing on the ‘early years’ continuum.
Dr. Adamo’s research team continues to explore the impact of healthy active living during key phases of growth, development and determination of long-term health (pregnancy/intrauterine, preschool and elementary school).
Clinician Scientist and Associate Professor

Dr. Gaudet is a specialist in Maternal Fetal Medicine at Kingston Health Sciences Centre and an Associate Professor in the Department of Obstetrics and Gynaecology at Queen’s University. Her clinical practice is broad, but special populations of interest include pregnancies complicated by high BMI, diabetes and substance use.
Dr. Gaudet is a Clinician Scientist with training in Perinatal Epidemiology. Her research interests are focused on the investigation of effects of high maternal BMI on health outcomes of mother, fetus and child. In addition to conducting both observational studies and clinical trials in that subject area, she has been an active recruiter for OMNI–led clinical trials. Dr. Gaudet has served as a clinical content expert for systematic reviews in the fields of excess weight in pregnancy and preterm birth. Finally, Dr. Gaudet is studying effects of substance use on pregnancy outcomes, placental health and the life trajectory of expectant parents and their babies.
