===Cancer diagnosis and liquid biopsy===
Cote has studied cancer detection and diagnosis throughout his career. In collaborative research, he developed guidelines to improve HER2 testing accuracy in invasive breast cancer, recommending standardized procedures and criteria to ensure reliable results for all cases.{{Cite journal|url=https://meridian.allenpress.com/aplm/article/131/1/18/460033/American-Society-of-Clinical-Oncology-College-of|title=American Society of Clinical Oncology/College of American Pathologists Guideline Recommendations for Human Epidermal Growth Factor Receptor 2 Testing in Breast Cancer|first1=Antonio C.|last1=Wolff|first2=M.
