She taught for 8 years at the Université de Montréal in the fields of physiopathology of psychotropic drugs, of cellular and molecular biology and of biotechnology. After a stay at the Conference of Rectors and Principals of Quebec Universities (CREPUQ) for the works of the University Programs Commission, she joined the team set up by the Quebec Minister of Research, Science and Technology in order to elaborate the Policy on Science and Innovation that was made public in 2001.
