Our team

The Interdisciplinary Research Group in Health Informatics’ team (GRIIS) brings together professors, researchers, physicians, postdoctoral researchers, Ph.D. students, Master’s students, interns, research professionals and administrative staff.

The open-source information solutions and the socio-technological approaches that we develop are used in health research and clinical practice. We collaborate with partners and organizations in Canada and abroad.

We train the next generation by offering internships, research projects and courses at all academic levels.
