Vanessa Dumeaux

Dr. Dumeaux received her doctorate in Pharmacy in 2002 in France. She then obtained her Ph.D. in molecular epidemiology, a joint degree from the University of Tromsø (Norway) and the University of Paris-Sud XI (France). During her PhD, she developed expertise in genomics in the group of Professeur Børresen-Dale at the Norwegian Radium Hospital — among the pioneers in expression profiling of breast carcinomas in collaboration with groups at Stanford University.

During her post-doc, she visited the Department of Applied Mathematics (University of Paris Descartes) and the Laboratory of Bioinformatics and Functional Genomics (Princeton University), and moved to Canada in 2009 to continue her research in bioinformatics and genomics at McGill and Concordia University.

She joined Western University as an Assistant Professor in the Department of Anatomy and Cell Biology in April 2022, with cross-appointments in the Departments of Biochemistry and Oncology, and is an Affiliate Scientist at the London Health Sciences Centre Research Institute and the Children's Health Research Institute.
