Dr. Aviane Auguste
Dr. Aviane Auguste is a Saint Lucian Epidemiologist affiliated with the Vaughan Arthur Lewis Institute for Research and innovation (VALIRI). He earned a doctoral degree in Epidemiology from the Université de Rennes 1 in 2019 (Rennes, France). His research mostly involves Cancer Epidemiology and prevention. He is a member of the African-Caribbean Cancer Consortium AC3 where he co-leads the head and neck Cancer, working group.
His research at VALIRI aims to leverage the resources in Saint Lucia to create a laboratory in collaboration with the civil society to study Cancer prevention disparities among populations of African descent, and the specificities of insular health systems for chronic disease.
Relatively little is known on these topics and this work will not only help formulate innovative solutions for better population health in Saint Lucia but it will contribute to the knowledge base for similar populations internationally (under-resourced, isolated, uninsured, black, and hard-to-reach populations)
Research topics at VALIRI
Cancer prevention in under-resourced settings §Insular health systems for chronic disease
