Clinical Epidemiology & Biostatistics

Guillaume Pare

Education and Professional Standing

Research Fellow, Harvard Medical School, 2009
Medical Biochemist, University of Montreal, 2007
MSc, Human Genetics, McGill University, 2006
MD, University of Montreal, 2002

Academic Interests

My main research focus is Genetic and molecular epidemiology.  Briefly, I aim to identify  genetic determinants of complex disease such as hypertension, coronary artery disease, cerebrovascular disease and other types of chronic disease.  Another area of my research is the development and validation of novel biomarkers of disease. Genetic and molecular markers of disease are expected to lead to better understanding, prediction, and ultimately, prevention of diseases.
