Lab intern Sophia Almeida Ribeiro has just received an research initiation (STBIRC) scholarship from the Fonds de Recherche du Québec, encouraging her interest in Health sector research. What a great start to your journey, and congrats again from everyone in the lab!! 🎉🎉

The CERMO-FC's Félix-Antoine Aublet Research Scholarship aims to support research related to orphan diseases, and more specifically mucopolysaccharidoses (MPS) which are a group of rare lysosomal storage disorders. For this edition, the scholarship was awarded to two students from two different labs: our own M.Sc. student Jeffrey Killeen and Ph.D. student Nathan Ghafari from Dr. Lekha Sleno's laboratory. Together, they will continue working on C. elegans models of MPS disease

Ph.D. student Marin Pascal has just been awarded a conference scholarship by the PROTEO network to cover part of his expenses for the 26th International Worm Meeting in Kobe! Congratulations Marin, and good luck in Japan!!

Ph.D. student Noémie Frébault has delivered an outstanding talk about her project on mRNA decapping to start off this year's monthly virtual meetings, with beautiful slides and great answers to questions. Welcome back everyone, and very well done Noémie!!
