About Prof. Louise Pilote

Dr Pilote holds a James McGill chair and is a Professor of Medicine at McGill University and a researcher at Research Institute of the McGill University Health Centre (RI-MUHC). She completed her medical degree and residency in internal medicine at McGill University. She completed an MPH at the Harvard School of Public Health and a PhD in epidemiology at the University of California at Berkeley. Dr Pilote's interests include cardiovascular epidemiology, outcomes research and health services research. She has published several studies answering questions on the effectiveness of cardiovascular care. Her research focuses on women and vascular diseases through the lifespan. She applies health services, outcomes, clinical trials and comparative effectiveness methods to answer questions about sex differences in the safety and effectiveness of drugs and procedures.

She is one of the few physicians to have specialized on the effect of gender-related differences in cardiovascular research. To date, most research approaches have focused exclusively on biological sex differences, neglecting the impact of gender identity and roles. Pilote considers these criteria in her research, using a “gender score” she developed to investigate the possible effects of sex and gender differences when it comes to medical issues such as cardiovascular diseases and to develop therapeutic approaches.
