Welcome to the first episode of the new year!
Meet Geneviève Allaire-Stacey, Researcher behind eSence-Cancer 🌱👩🔬 Delve into the insightful work of Geneviève, focusing on adapting therapy modules in sexual health for gynecologic cancer survivors. Her commitment to nuanced, patient-centric research is at the heart of eSence-Cancer
Geneviève Allaire-Stacey is currently doing her Master's of Science in Women+ and Children’s Health Sciences under the supervision of Dr. Lori Brotto. In 2022, she graduated from McGill University after completing her Bachelor of Arts as a double major in Psychology and Gender, Sexuality, Feminist and Social Justice Studies as well as a minor in Behavioural Science. Through her studies at McGill, Geneviève developed a marked interest for women, sexuality, and health, and it is with the goal of having a direct impact on women’s health that she applied for the WACH program. Genevieve’s focus at UBC and in the Sexual Health Research Laboratory is centered on treatments for sexual dysfunction in cancer survivors. Specifically, she works on eSense-Cancer, a branch of the eSense study, which seeks to adapt the original digital therapy modules to gynecologic cancer survivors’ lived experiences with female sexual dysfunction. Geneviève hopes to continue onwards doing work related to sexual health and advocacy once she is done her master’s degree.
Geneviève’s presentation won Barbara Berthon Ovarian Cancer Presentation Award at the annual GCI Trainee Research Day conference.
