Profile

Biography

Cristina Longo est épidémiologiste périnatale/pédiatrique, chercheuse en début de carrière au Centre de recherche du CHU Ste Justine et professeure adjointe à la faculté de pharmacie de l'Université de Montréal. Elle est chercheuse-boursière FRQ-S Junior I en intelligence artificielle et santé et récipiendaire d'une bourse de recherche en début de carrière CAAIF/IRSC en asthme. Son programme de recherche interdisciplinaire vise à optimiser les issues de l'asthme chez les enfants dans le contexte du système de santé apprenant. Son laboratoire (the ‘TARGET ASTHMA’ lab) combine des méthodes épidémiologiques et biostatistiques de pointe pour identifier des interventions potentielles visant à prévenir l'apparition et la progression de l'asthme pédiatrique ainsi que l’apprentissage automatique pour la découverte de biomarqueurs et l'optimisation des issues de traitement chez les enfants asthmatiques.
