About
English version
Dr. Hélène Carabin (DVM, MSc in Veterinary Epidemiology, PhD in “human” Epidemiology and Biostatistics) is a Full Professor in the Department of Pathology and Microbiology at the Faculty of Veterinary Medicine and in the Department of Social and Preventive Medicine at the School of Public Health of the Université de Montréal in Canada since 2018. She holds the Tier 1 Canada Research Chair in Epidemiology and One Health.
After her PhD at McGill, Dr. Carabin did a postdoc at Oxford and Imperial College in the UK combining transmission dynamics models with health economics approaches to estimate the cost-benefits of interventions for tropical neglected diseases. She was a Professor of infectious disease epidemiology during 16 years at the College of Public Health at the university of Oklahoma Health Sciences Center where she focused on zoonotic infections and methods to adjust for misclassification errors and clustering in One Health research.
Version française
La Dre Hélène Carabin (DMV, M. Sc. en épidémiologie vétérinaire, Ph. D. en épidémiologie et biostatistique) est professeure titulaire au Département de pathologie et microbiologie de la Faculté de médecine vétérinaire ainsi qu’au Département de médecine sociale et préventive de l’École de santé publique de l’Université de Montréal depuis 2018. Elle est titulaire de la Chaire de recherche du Canada de niveau 1 en épidémiologie et Une seule santé.
Après son doctorat à l’Université McGill, elle a effectué un stage postdoctoral à l’Université d’Oxford et à l’Imperial College London, où elle a combiné la modélisation de la dynamique de transmission et les approches d’économie de la santé afin d’estimer le rapport coût-bénéfice d’interventions contre les maladies tropicales négligées. Elle a ensuite été professeure en épidémiologie des maladies infectieuses pendant 16 ans au College of Public Health de l’University of Oklahoma Health Sciences Center, où ses travaux ont porté sur les infections zoonotiques ainsi que sur le développement de méthodes permettant de corriger les erreurs de classification et de tenir compte de la structure en grappes dans la recherche en Une seule santé.
