Nephrology
KYLA NAYLOR, PHD, Assistant Professor

Dr. Naylor earned her PhD in Epidemiology and Biostatistics from Western University in 2015 and completed postdoctoral training at ICES. She is currently an Adjunct Scientist at ICES, Embedded Scientist at Ontario Health (Ontario Renal Network and Trillium Gift of Life Network), Assistant Professor in Medicine and Epidemiology and Biostatistics, and a Research Scientist at London Health Sciences Centre Research Institute.

Dr. Naylor’s research primarily focuses on using administrative healthcare databases to understand and address barriers to kidney transplant access and to improve health outcomes after transplant. She holds a CIHR Health System Impact Embedded Early Career Researcher Award, which has enabled her to actively contribute within the Ontario Renal Network and Trillium Gift of Life Network environments to advance the creation of a learning health system. Her work in these roles helps inform policies and practices that directly influence transplant care. In addition to her expertise in observational studies using administrative data, she is expanding her skills as a Future Trial Leader in the Health Data Research Network Canada Pragmatic Trials Training Program, where she is designing a pragmatic randomized controlled trial to facilitate better access to kidney transplant for patients with kidney failure.
