My research program aims to characterize scleromyositis, a distinct form of myositis associated with features of scleroderma, another connective tissue disease, using a clinico-sero-pathological approach.

My research projects use clinical and biological data from the Centre hospitalier de l'Université de Montréal myositis cohort and a pan-Canadian multicenter myositis registry (Canadian Inflammatory Myopathy Study). I also collaborate closely with other national and international research teams in rheumatology, neuropathology and immunology.

Immunopathology

The Immunopathology Research Theme comprises a group of researchers spanning the basic and clinical research continuum and focusing on the immune/inflammatory processes involved in the disturbance and restoration of homeostasis. These activities are rooted in shared visions regarding explorat…
