Dr. Gauthier is a Professor in the Faculty of Medicine at the Université de Montréal, a researcher at the Montreal Heart Institute Research Centre, and holder of the Michal and Renata Hornstein Chair in Cardiovascular Imaging.
She completed her PhD with Richard Hoge at the Université de Montréal, developing quantitative MRI methods that measure the vascular and metabolic state of the brain, not just its structure. After a postdoc at the Max Planck Institute for Human Cognitive and Brain Sciences in Leipzig and a faculty position in the Department of Physics at Concordia University, she joined the Department of Radiology, Radio-Oncology and Nuclear Medicine at the Université de Montréal.
Her lab studies how aging and cardiovascular disease change the brain’s blood flow, vascular reactivity, pulsatility and oxygen metabolism, with the aim of finding biomarkers that identify people on an unfavourable aging trajectory early, while there is still time to intervene.
