Speaker's Bio

Dr. Viviane Dias Lima, has been a Assistant Professor at UBC since 2011 and a Research Scientist and Senior Statistician at the British Columbia Centre for Excellence in HIV/AIDS (BC-CfE) since 2006. Her area of research focus has been on the epidemiology and control of the Human Immunodeficiency Virus (HIV) and, more recently, the hepatitis C virus (HCV). Dr. Lima develops innovative models of disease progression and transmission to understand the potential impact of behavioral and health care interventions on these epidemics, using her training in statistics, epidemiology and mathematical modeling.

She is part of numerous national/international collaborations and an advisor for several national/international agencies. Currently, she holds salary awards from CIHR and a MSFHR, and she is the principal/co-investigator on several grants.
