Julie Lajoie

I completed my undergraduate and graduate studies (MSc and PhD) at the Université de Montréal. I am now an assistant professor of Medical Microbiology and Infectious Diseases at the University of Manitoba. I also hold a visiting lecturer position at the University of Nairobi. My lab focuses on the impact of hormones on the immune response and susceptibility to infectious diseases such as HIV and HPV. We do basic science with a community-based approach and work closely with the Sex Worker Outreach Program in Kenya.
