Caroline Wagner

Caroline Wagner is an Assistant Professor in the Department of Bioengineering at McGill University. She holds an MSc and PhD in Mechanical Engineering from MIT, where she used experiment and theory to study the microscopic and macroscopic rheological properties of mucus. She then trained as a postdoctoral fellow in mathematical disease modeling at Princeton University. Her research program focusses on understanding interactions between pathogens and biological fluids, and modeling the effect of such interactions on population-level disease transmission and dynamics.

Adelina Artenie is Assistant Professor in the Department of Family and Emergency Medicine at the Université de Montréal, and Principal Scientist at the Research Centre of the CHUM. Her research focuses primarily on the epidemiology and prevention of hepatitis C, HIV, overdoses, and other harms related to drug use among people who use drugs, as well as other key populations. Her research program combines mathematical modeling, analysis of observational databases — including HEPCO, a prospective long-term cohort of people who inject drugs in Montreal — and systematic reviews. Her work is strongly oriented toward public health policy.
