Biography: 

I am trained as an occupational and environmental epidemiologist. I obtained a B.Sc. in physics (1975), a MSc degree (1985) and PhD degree (1991) in epidemiology and biostatistics from ±«ÓãÖ±²¥. From 1990 until 1996, I worked in the Montreal public health department as an epidemiologist and from 1996-2000 I was a professor at the INRS-Institut Armand-Frappier, University of Quebec. I am currently professor at ±«ÓãÖ±²¥ in the Department of Medicine and associate member in the Department of Epidemiology and Biostatistics, Department of Occupational Health, in the Department of Oncology, and the ±«ÓãÖ±²¥ School of Environment. I held until 2008 a Chercheur-Boursier from the Fonds de recherche en santé du Québec and an Investigator Award from the Canadian Institutes for Health Research.

Current research: 

My current research program consists of completing a number of ongoing research projects as well as initiating new ones. The following projects are currently underway:

1) a case-control study of gene-environment interactions in postmenopausal breast cancer;

2) a longitudinal study of the acute effects of air pollution on health among persons potentially susceptible to urban air pollution;

3) a panel study in congestive heart failure to determine whether air pollution affects essential indicators of health status;

4) a cohort study of persons with implanted cardioverter defibrillators to identify triggers for interventions for ventricular tachycardia;

5) a population-based cohort study in Ontario  (Paul Villeneuve, PI) and a nationwide study based on the 1991 Canadian Census (Rick Burnett, PI) both used to investigate the long-term effects of air pollution on health;

6) studies of traffic-related air pollution and the incidence of cancer;

7) a panel in childhood asthma to determine whether air pollution from refineries affects respiratory health; and

8) a panel study of bicyclists in Montreal investigating cardiovascular effects of traffic-related air pollution.
