Professor Couillard is Assistant Professor in Medicine at the University of Sherbrooke in Quebec, Canada, where he holds an endowed Research Chair in Respiratory Health. He recently returned to the University of Sherbrooke after graduating with distinction from the University of Oxford, where he completed a two-year post-doctoral clinical research fellowship in severe asthma.
Professor Couillard’s research interests centre on asthma (of all severities), airway inflammation, and clinical prediction modelling. He seeks a greater understanding of biomarkers and asthma phenotypes to help further the use of personalised medicine, especially to help solve clinical challenges faced by primary care providers. He is interested in the interplay between eosinophil biology and epithelial responses in airway inflammation, as well as using biomarker-guided prognostic modelling to help predict and prevent asthma attacks.
Professor Couillard has published widely on asthma and COPD, and is a member of the Canadian Thoracic Society, American Thoracic Society, and European Respiratory Society.
