 +===== Publications =====
 +
 +Hopkins' relevant studies featured by her profiles on U of T and McMaster’s websites include:
 +
 +  * //Impact of COVID-19 pre-test probability on positive predictive value of high cycle threshold SARS-CoV-2 real-time reverse transcription PCR test results.//((Gubbay, J.
