My research focuses on human papillomavirus infection and cervical cancer screening 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 and chronic conditions following exposure to certain medication using pharmaco-epidemiology technique.
