Research Focus

My research program builds on years of multidisciplinary work leading one of the largest cohorts focused on HIV and hepatitis C virus (HCV) co-infection in the world. As Canada Research Chair in Clinical and Epidemiologic Studies of Chronic Viral Infections in Vulnerable Populations, I am documenting the impact of new HCV therapies on health outcomes, designing and testing tailored approaches to increase access to diagnosis and treatment, building capacity for research with Indigenous communities, and using evidence generated to advocate for policy change. My goal is to pave the way to eliminating HCV and other chronic viral infections in Canada and globally. To this end, I am leading an ambitious project called Montreal Sans Hep C, which aims to make Montreal the first City in North America to eliminate HCV.
