Biography

Bénédicte Fontaine-Bisson is an associate professor in the School of Nutrition Sciences and a professional dietitian. She received her PhD in nutrition sciences with a specialization in nutrigenetics from the University of Toronto and completed a postdoctoral fellowship in genetic epidemiology at the Institut national de la santé et de la recherche médicale (INSERM) in Paris. Her research program focuses on perinatal social nutrition and collaborates with Professor Alex Dumas from the School of Human Kinetics, adopting a socially-engaged approach to nutritional equity during pregnancy and early childhood.
