Dr. Viviane Dias Lima

Senior Statistician / Research Scientist
Associate Professor, Department of Medicine, University of British Columbia



Program(s): Clinical ProgramsEpidemiology and Population Health
Initiative(s): THRIVEDrug Treatment Program

Viviane Dias Lima is an Assistant Professor in the Department of Medicine, University of British Columbia and joined the British Columbia Centre for Excellence in HIV/AIDS in 2006 as a Research Scientist and Senior Statistician.  She works closely with Dr. Julio Montaner and Dr. Robert Hogg. She also has several ongoing collaborations with researchers across Canada, the US, Australia and Europe. She also supervises and guides a group of statisticians and data analysts.

By combining statistical, mathematical and epidemiological methods, her area of research focus on the investigation of innovative prevention strategies to the transmission of HIV, and innovative intervention strategies to avert HIV/AIDS disease progression.

In 2007, she joined the modeling group at the Interdisciplinary Research in the Mathematical and Computational Sciences (IRMACS) centre at the Simon Fraser University.

Dr. Viviane Dias Lima is a recipient of two research fellowships by the Canadian Institutes of Health Research and by the Michael Smith Foundation for Health Research to identify and assess the effectiveness of competing treatment-management interventions to improve adherence over a person’s treatment history in order to prevent or reduce disease progression.

Research Summary:

Through my ongoing national and international collaborations and my research grants, I plan to create a unique three-branch based on different analytical approaches, including:

1. Biostatistical methods to analyze health services delivery data and clinical data;

2. Disease mapping methods to analyse spatio-temporal trends in disease morbidity and mortality; and

3. Mathematical models of disease progression and transmission.

This program will definitely create great research opportunities and it will provide a new setting in BC where trainees will be supported across a variety of disciplinary and methodological backgrounds, further enhancing BC’s competitive advantage in population-health research.

To this end, I currently have research funds to support graduate students interested in working in the research areas mentioned above.

I am situated at the British Columbia Centre for Excellence in HIV/AIDS which is a great environment to conduct research and study. I also have an elective on Clinical Epidemiology in which undergraduate medical students can experience research in the aforementioned areas.
