MD, MPhil
Investigator
Brain Health and Wellness Pillar
François completed his medical training (2015) and neurosurgery residency (2021) at the University of Toronto, followed by a clinical fellowship in critical care medicine (2023). He spent one year completing a master’s in clinical neurosciences under the supervision of Professor David Menon at the University of Cambridge (2018-19), during which he developed computer vision methods to analyze the vast amount of neuroimaging data gathered as part of the CENTER-TBI study. He returned to Addenbrooke’s Hospital in 2023 to acquire additional expertise in multimodal neuromonitoring in patients with an acute brain injury before joining the St-Michael’s Hospital neurosurgery and critical care teams. François’ main clinical interests include neurotrauma, spinal surgery and neurocritical care. The overarching goal of his research work is to develop a more nuanced approach at prognostication and management in acute brain injury by applying computer vision techniques to large imaging datasets and by using multimodal neuromonitoring to individualize physiological targets at the bedside.
