Geneviève Mailhot is a Full Professor in the Department of Nutrition at the University of Montreal's Faculty of Medicine. Her research integrates fundamental and clinical approaches focused on vitamin D, bone health, cystic fibrosis/lung transplantation, intestinal physiology, and food allergies. Affiliated with the Azrieli Research Center at CHU Sainte-Justine and the Liliane de Stewart Pavilion, she collaborates with clinicians to study nutritional status in at-risk populations and its clinical implications.

• PhD in Nutrition, University of Montreal (1996-2004)
• Postdoctoral Fellowship, University of Massachusetts Medical School (2004-2006)

Her research explores Vitamin D bioavailability in Cystic Fibrosis, Bone Health in Lung Transplant recipients, and Intestinal Physiology interactions with Food Allergies. Publications address nutritional guidelines for chronic disease populations, emphasizing fat-soluble nutrients and immune-metabolic connections.

Dr. Mailhot has received awards for undergraduate teaching, oral presentations, and research scholarships. Her clinical work informs nutritional status characterization in micronutrient deficiencies for Crohn's disease, Asthma, and Sickle Cell Anemia patients. Current projects include COVID-19 vaccine immunogenicity studies in HIV populations.
