Member of:

Dr Florent BESNIER has been involved in clinical trials and cardiovascular rehabilitation in the past 12 years. His work focuses on exercise physiology in cardiovascular and metabolic diseases. In May 2019, Dr Florent Besnier joined Prof. Louis Bherer’s research team as a postdoctoral researcher at the EPIC center of the Montreal Heart Institute. His project consists of studying the effects of cognitive and physical training on physical and brain health in chronic heart failure patients. Dr Florent BESNIER has also developed clinical research projects on the optimization of an exercise training program in coronary heart disease patients, and on the rehabilitation of individuals with long-COVID-19 syndrome.
