Biography

I earned my Bachelor’s degree in Biomedical Engineering from Polytechnique Montréal and my Ph.D. from Cornell University. Subsequently, I completed a postdoctoral fellowship focused on developing liquid biopsies at Weill Cornell Medicine and the New York Genome Center before establishing my laboratory at ÉTS and the CHUM Research Centre.
