Biography
Pierre-Antoine Dugué is an Associate Professor in the School of Clinical Sciences at Monash Health. He heads the Molecular Epidemiology team (Precision Medicine), which uses statistical / machine learning methods coupled with molecular data to address key epidemiological and clinical questions.
A/Prof Dugué completed undergraduate studies in Mathematics and Physics and a MSc in Statistics in France, after which he worked as a biostatistician at the French National Institute for Health and Medical Research (Paris), analysing clinical trial data. He completed in 2014 a PhD in the Department of Public Health, University of Copenhagen, Denmark, studying cervical cancer epidemiology and prevention through screening.

A/Prof Dugué's goal is to contribute to a better understanding, prediction and prevention of cancer risk and mortality through the use of sound study designs and the integration of lifestyle, administrative, clinical and -omic data. His research has been supported by funding from the NHMRC and mid-career fellowships from PCFA and VCA.
