Simon Dufour, DMV, PhD

Simon Dufour is a professor of veterinary epidemiology at the Faculty of Veterinary Medicine at the Université de Montréal. He currently leads the Op+lait FRQ-NT research group and is co-director of the Dairy Production Biosecurity Chair. He is passionate about the epidemiology of bovine diseases and the monitoring of antimicrobial use in dairy animals. His research also focuses on the use of vaccination to prevent various bovine diseases, including abortions caused by IBR and BVD. A portion of his research program specifically addresses the detection and control of the latter disease. Additionally, he is interested in fetal losses during gestation in dairy cattle and the use of pregnancy-associated glycoproteins as a pregnancy test.

He also has solid expertise in diagnostic strategies, disease control, and the development of data visualization tools for health monitoring and evaluation. Over the years, he has contributed to the training of many graduate students (most of whom have survived). Above all, he is passionate about learning and teaching.
