Biography

France Labrèche is an Associate Professor at the School of Public Health at Université de Montréal, specializing in occupational health and environmental health. Her research primarily focuses on the links between occupational exposures and breast cancer risks, especially among workers in the aluminum industry and those exposed to asbestos fibers. She emphasizes the importance of understanding multifactorial elements that contribute to cancer incidences, noting that a significant portion of cases may be connected to environmental exposures linked to work environments. Labrèche utilizes exposure databases and job-exposure matrices in epidemiological studies to identify high-risk populations. Additionally, she plans to investigate the potential impacts of climate change and green technologies on worker health and safety through scoping literature reviews. Her involvement in research projects includes leading studies on cancer prevention among students in semi-skilled trades and evaluating knowledge gaps regarding carcinogenic exposures among young workers.
