Recognized for her leadership in cross-sector collaboration and\u00a0 her expertise in project management and strategic partnerships, Fatma will support the continuity, development, and visibility of the Node and its team. \u00a0 Looking Ahead While leadership roles evolve, the mission of the Quebec Node remains unchanged. As we recognize the contributions of those who helped build and strengthen the Node and welcome those who will guide its next chapter, we look forward to continuing to advance research, knowledge mobilization, and collaboration in the field of substance use and addiction across Quebec and Canada. \u00a0\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:url\" content=\"https:\/\/crism.ca\/fr\/2026\/06\/03\/a-new-chapter-for-the-crism-quebec-node\/\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:site_name\" content=\"CRISM\" \/>\n<meta property=\"article:published_time\" content=\"2026-06-03T15:37:28+00:00\" \/>\n<meta property=\"article:modified_time\" content=\"2026-06-03T16:32:15+00:00\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:image\" content=\"https:\/\/crism.ca\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/05\/Jutras-Aswad-Didier_5737m_0.jpg\" \/>\n\t<meta property=\"og:image:width\" content=\"1595\" \/>\n\t<meta property=\"og:image:height\" content=\"1595\" \/>\n\t<meta property=\"og:image:type\" content=\"image\/jpeg\" \/>\n<meta name=\"author\" content=\"Chlo\u00e9 Raout\" \/>\n<meta name=\"twitter:card\" content=\"summary_large_image\" \/>\n<meta name=\"twitter:label1\" content=\"\u00c9crit par\" \/>\n\t<meta name=\"twitter:data1\" content=\"Chlo\u00e9 Raout\" \/>\n\t<meta name=\"twitter:label2\" content=\"Estimation du temps de lecture\" \/>\n\t<meta name=\"twitter:data2\" content=\"3 minutes\" \/>\n<script type=\"application\/ld+json\" class=\"yoast-schema-graph\">{\"@context\":\"https:\\\/\\\/schema.org\",\"@graph\":[{\"@type\":\"Article\",\"@id\":\"https:\\\/\\\/crism.ca\\\/2026\\\/06\\\/03\\\/a-new-chapter-for-the-crism-quebec-node\\\/#article\",\"isPartOf\":{\"@id\":\"https:\\\/\\\/crism.ca\\\/2026\\\/06\\\/03\\\/a-new-chapter-for-the-crism-quebec-node\\\/\"},\"author\":{\"name\":\"Chlo\u00e9 Raout\",\"@id\":\"https:\\\/\\\/crism.ca\\\/#\\\/schema\\\/person\\\/06d9ebe1af07d1d806d454ff593aafd5\"},\"headline\":\"A New Chapter for the CRISM Quebec Node\",\"datePublished\":\"2026-06-03T15:37:28+00:00\",\"dateModified\":\"2026-06-03T16:32:15+00:00\",\"mainEntityOfPage\":{\"@id\":\"https:\\\/\\\/crism.ca\\\/2026\\\/06\\\/03\\\/a-new-chapter-for-the-crism-quebec-node\\\/\"},\"wordCount\":569,\"publisher\":{\"@id\":\"https:\\\/\\\/crism.ca\\\/#organization\"},\"image\":{\"@id\":\"https:\\\/\\\/crism.ca\\\/2026\\\/06\\\/03\\\/a-new-chapter-for-the-crism-quebec-node\\\/#primaryimage\"},\"thumbnailUrl\":\"https:\\\/\\\/crism.ca\\\/wp-content\\\/uploads\\\/2026\\\/05\\\/Jutras-Aswad-Didier_5737m_0.jpg\",\"keywords\":[\"Quebec Node\"],\"articleSection\":[\"News\"],\"inLanguage\":\"fr-CA\"},{\"@type\":\"WebPage\",\"@id\":\"https:\\\/\\\/crism.ca\\\/2026\\\/06\\\/03\\\/a-new-chapter-for-the-crism-quebec-node\\\/\",\"url\":\"https:\\\/\\\/crism.ca\\\/2026\\\/06\\\/03\\\/a-new-chapter-for-the-crism-quebec-node\\\/\",\"name\":\"A New Chapter for the CRISM Quebec Node -

CRISM","og_description":"The Quebec Node of the Canadian Research Initiative in Substance Matters (CRISM) is entering a new chapter, marked by leadership transitions that build on more than a decade of growth, collaboration, and impact. After more than 10 years at the helm of the Quebec Node, Dr. Julie Bruneau is passing the torch to Dr. Didier Jutras-Aswad as Principal Investigator. The Node is also recognizing the departure of A\u00efssata Sako from the management of the Quebec Node and welcoming Fatma Boulouednine to this role. We would like to acknowledge the exceptional contributions of Julie and A\u00efssata to the development and visibility of the Quebec Node over the years and welcome Didier and Fatma as they begin their new responsibilities. \u00a0 Dr. Didier Jutras-Aswad Named Principal Investigator of the Quebec Node After more than 10 years leading the Quebec Node, Dr. Julie Bruneau is passing the torch to Dr. Didier Jutras-Aswad. A physician, clinician-scientist at the CHUM, and Professor in Family Medicine at the University of Montreal, Dr. Bruneau is a recognized figure in the field of addiction. Her research focuses on the factors involved in HIV and HCV transmission among people who inject drugs, with the goal of identifying strategies to prevent new infections. In 2015, alongside other Canadian researchers, she helped lay the foundations of the national initiative that would become C RISM. We would like to recognize her tremendous contribution to the network and to the broader community of practice. Dr. Didier Jutras-Aswad will now lead the Quebec Node as Principal Investigator. He will continue the work established over the years to advance priorities in research, knowledge translation, and practice improvement. Professor in the Department of Psychiatry and Addiction at the University of Montreal, researcher at CRCHUM, and Head of Psychiatry at the CHUM, his work focuses on substance use and associated mental health comorbidities and concurrent disorders. As the leader of several national clinical trials, he is particularly interested in the effects of cannabis and methamphetamines, as well as the development of approaches and models of care to support people who use these substances. \u00a0 A Transition in the Management of the Quebec Node The face of the Node&#8217;s leadership is changing\u2014and so is that of its management. Working alongside Dr. Julie\u00a0 Bruneau since the early days of CRISM, A\u00efssata Sako is stepping down from the management of the Node this year. The lasting imprint of her rigor and excellence will continue to shape the identity of the Quebec Node. We warmly thank her for the leadership she has demonstrated and for all the work she has accomplished to support the success of the Node and its initiatives. Fatma Boulouednine will now assume responsibility for the management of the Quebec Node. Holding a Doctorate in Pharmacy and an MBA, she brings extensive experience in health research and innovation. Recognized for her leadership in cross-sector collaboration and\u00a0 her expertise in project management and strategic partnerships, Fatma will support the continuity, development, and visibility of the Node and its team. \u00a0 Looking Ahead While leadership roles evolve, the mission of the Quebec Node remains unchanged. As we recognize the contributions of those who helped build and strengthen the Node and welcome those who will guide its next chapter, we look forward to continuing to advance research, knowledge mobilization, and collaboration in the field of substance use and addiction across Quebec and Canada. \u00a0","og_url":"https:\/\/crism.ca\/fr\/2026\/06\/03\/a-new-chapter-for-the-crism-quebec-node\/","og_site_name":"CRISM","article_published_time":"2026-06-03T15:37:28+00:00","article_modified_time":"2026-06-03T16:32:15+00:00","og_image":[{"width":1595,"height":1595,"url":"https:\/\/crism.ca\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/05\/Jutras-Aswad-Didier_5737m_0.jpg","type":"image\/jpeg"}],"author":"Chlo\u00e9 Raout","twitter_card":"summary_large_image","twitter_misc":{"\u00c9crit par":"Chlo\u00e9 Raout","Estimation du temps de lecture":"3 minutes"},"schema":{"@context":"https:\/\/schema.org","@graph":[{"@type":"Article","@id":"https:\/\/crism.ca\/2026\/06\/03\/a-new-chapter-for-the-crism-quebec-node\/#article","isPartOf":{"@id":"https:\/\/crism.ca\/2026\/06\/03\/a-new-chapter-for-the-crism-quebec-node\/"},"author":{"name":"Chlo\u00e9 Raout","@id":"https:\/\/crism.ca\/#\/schema\/person\/06d9ebe1af07d1d806d454ff593aafd5"},"headline":"A New Chapter for the CRISM Quebec Node","datePublished":"2026-06-03T15:37:28+00:00","dateModified":"2026-06-03T16:32:15+00:00","mainEntityOfPage":{"@id":"https:\/\/crism.ca\/2026\/06\/03\/a-new-chapter-for-the-crism-quebec-node\/"},"wordCount":569,"publisher":{"@id":"https:\/\/crism.ca\/#organization"},"image":{"@id":"https:\/\/crism.ca\/2026\/06\/03\/a-new-chapter-for-the-crism-quebec-node\/#primaryimage"},"thumbnailUrl":"https:\/\/crism.ca\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/05\/Jutras-Aswad-Didier_5737m_0.jpg","keywords":["Quebec Node"],"articleSection":["News"],"inLanguage":"fr-CA"},{"@type":"WebPage","@id":"https:\/\/crism.ca\/2026\/06\/03\/a-new-chapter-for-the-crism-quebec-node\/","url":"https:\/\/crism.ca\/2026\/06\/03\/a-new-chapter-for-the-crism-quebec-node\/","name":"A New Chapter for the CRISM Quebec Node -
