He obtained his PhD in pharmacoepidemiology from the University of Hong Kong and then completed post-doctoral training in the Division of Epidemiology and Biostatistics, School of Public Health, at the University of Hong Kong.

His research mainly focuses on using real-world data to comprehend the effectiveness of drugs, drug utilization research, patient adherence to medications, and evidence synthesis. He holds a particular interest in examining conventional and novel lipid-modifying drugs as well as antimicrobial drugs. Professor Blais welcomes collaboration with researchers who share an interest in addressing challenges related to the optimal prescribing of, and adherence to, lipid-modifying drugs. This includes exploring questions related to comparative effectiveness of different treatment strategies and adherence to novel treatments, such as PCSK9 inhibitors and bempedoic acid.
