Diane Auderset holds a PhD from the Interfaculty Program in Humanities and Social Sciences of Medicine and Health at the University of Lausanne, Switzerland (formal obtention in mid-2025). This PhD program is jointly offered by the Faculty of Biology and Medicine and the Faculty of Social and Political Sciences. She began her doctoral studies in 2022 and joined Simon Fraser University, Vancouver, Canada, in May 2024 with the support of a six-month mobility scholarship (Mobi.Doc) awarded by the University of Lausanne.

Her academic background combines multiple disciplines, including a Bachelor’s degree in Sociology from the University of Neuchâtel and a Master’s degree in Economics from the University of Fribourg, Switzerland. From 2019 to 2024, Diane worked as a researcher in public health at Unisanté. In 2020, she joined the Health and Gender Research Unit, led by Carole Clair and Joëlle Schwarz, contributing to various interdisciplinary projects. Among them, she collaborated with Swiss universities to develop GEMS (gems-platform.ch), a digital platform designed to promote the integration of gender and sex perspectives in the Swiss medical curriculum.

Her work covers diverse topics, combining quantitative analysis and methodological approaches, and is presented in various formats, including peer-reviewed journal articles, methodological working papers, reports, and technical briefs. It focuses primarily on the study of gender inequalities in health and include:
* Gender disparities in COVID-19 epidemiology, through the analysis of population-based surveillance data (Doctoral thesis);
* Epidemiological surveillance in family medicine, examining the role of primary care in detecting and managing epidemics;
* Rethinking the gender variable in quantitative health research, improving the integration of social dimensions in health;
* E-cigarettes and public health, focusing on youth consumption patterns and their implications for prevention and regulation;
* Adolescent sexuality, including behaviors, prevention strategies, and access to sexual health resources.
