Geneviève Renier

Geneviève Renier is a Professor at the University of Montreal's Faculty of Medicine, affiliated with the Centre hospitalier de l’Université de Montréal (CHUM). Her work bridges clinical and fundamental research in cardiovascular health.

Research Focus: Dr. Renier specializes in the intersection of immunology and cardiovascular pathology, with emphasis on atherosclerosis and diabetes. Her laboratory investigates macrophage lipoprotein lipase regulation, LOX-1 receptor dynamics, and systemic inflammation markers in diabetic vasculopathy. Key methodologies integrate clinical patient data with molecular biology techniques to explore metabolic pathways in cardiovascular disease progression.

Academic Leadership: Over a 12-year period (2000-2012), she supervised 10 graduate students across doctoral and master's programs, focusing on translational research topics including nutritional transitions in West Africa, bosentan effects on renal inflammation, and vascular CRP regulation in type 2 diabetes. Her trainees have pursued careers in clinical research and academic medicine.
