My research focuses on end of life care in the North as a first step to establish trust and credibility to eventually lead us to a larger cancer screening, prevention and promotion agenda focusing on the modern cancers touching the Inuit population of Quebec. I am also interested in the epidemiology of inflammatory bowel diseases in Quebec and in exploring the risk of developing various infectious diseases following exposure to certain medication using pharmaco-epidemiology techniques.Team Members
