Marie-Pierre Dubé – Biography


Career summary, research topics and interests

Marie-Pierre Dubé is assistant professor in the Department of Medicine at Université de Montréal and leads the statistical genetics research group at the Montreal Heart Institute. She works on the genetic epidemiology of heart diseases. She also directs the statistical analysis for a large pharmacogenomic study at the Montreal Heart Institute on drug efficacy and toxicity of lipid lowering drugs used in the treatment of dyslipidemias and atherosclerosis. Marie-Pierre completed her Ph.D. on the topic of statistical genetics at McGill University in 1999, followed by postdoctoral work at University of Toronto in genetic epidemiology of cancer. Before coming to Université de Montréal, she directed the statistical genetics group at Xenon Pharmaceuticals, Inc., where she participated in the discovery of important disease genes in the areas of dyslipidemia, iron metabolism, and neurological development and function.
