FORMER TEAM MEMBERS
We would like to extend our warmest thanks to all former members of the BQC19 team for their commitment, professionalism and invaluable contribution throughout the project. Their work has played an essential role in the establishment and smooth running of the biobank, and continues to have a tangible impact on research advances.
Vincent Mooser
BQC19 director
2020-2022
Responding in March 2020 to the call from Rémi Quirion, Quebec’s Chief Scientist, to address the meteoric emergence of the COVID-19 pandemic, Vincent Mooser urgently set up the BQC19 Steering Committee, which he led until August 2022. Vincent Mooser’s visionary, unifying leadership and many contributions to the establishment of BQC19, its development and continued funding, in close collaboration with the steering committee, have played a fundamental role in its current success and influence. As of September 2022, Vincent Mooser will continue to offer his expertise and share his vision of the BQC19 as a member of its Governance Committee.
Michaël Chassé
BQC19 co-director
2020-2021
Michaël Chassé served on the Steering Committee as Co-Director of BQC19 from April 2020 to March 2021, and was instrumental in the creation of BQC19. In particular, Dr. Chassé has been a key player in the development and regular updates of the biobank’s management framework, the establishment of the multicenter ethics process and the drafting of the inter-institutional agreement binding all BQC19 sites, which was signed in the fall of 2020. He also oversaw the development of the IT infrastructure for the BQC19 databases.
