Dr. France Daigle is a full professor at the University of Montreal in the Department of Microbiology, Infectiology and Immunology. Her research focuses on understanding the virulence factors of the pathogenic bacterium Salmonella, particularly Salmonella typhi, the agent responsible for typhoid fever in humans. With over 30 million infections annually, Salmonella typhi remains a significant public health concern worldwide. Dr. Daigle's laboratory utilizes macrophages as a model to study the molecular basis of host specificity in S. typhi, examining the bacterial gene expression involved in pathogenesis. Her research aims to elucidate the interactions between the host and pathogen and may contribute to vaccine development against S. typhi. She has supervised numerous graduate students and has been involved in several research projects aimed at improving food safety and understanding pathogen behavior in various environments.
