Mehdi Lebbal (he/him/his)

UNIVERSITE DE SHERBROOKE
Sherbrooke, QC, Canada

Mehdi Lebbal is an MD–MSc student at the Université de Sherbrooke, where he combines a doctorat in medicine with graduate research in biomedical imaging under the supervision of Professor Kevin Whittingstall and Professor Samantha Côté. He also has a background in engineering, which has shaped his interest in developing innovative technological solutions for biomedical research and clinical applications.

His current research focuses on the structural analysis of the pituitary gland using magnetic resonance imaging (MRI). As part of his master's work, he developed an automated computational tool capable of analyzing medical images and extracting quantitative information about pituitary morphology. This tool enables the investigation of pituitary structural changes across various physiological contexts, including the menstrual cycle, and supports large-scale imaging studies that would otherwise be difficult to perform manually.

Mehdi's academic interests span internal medicine, with particular interests in endocrinology and neurology. He is especially motivated by the integration of clinical medicine, medical imaging, and quantitative data analysis to better understand human physiology and disease. His long-term goal is to pursue a career as a clinician-scientist, combining patient care with translational research.

What he values most about research is the opportunity to innovate, critically analyze complex problems, and develop evidence-based solutions that can ultimately improve health outcomes. Through his interdisciplinary training in medicine, engineering, and imaging sciences, he aims to contribute to advances in both biomedical research and clinical practice.
