Dr. Raphaël Dima successfully and flawlessly defended his Ph.D. thesis yesterday, earning his well-deserved doctoral degree. Congratulations on this remarkable milestone, Raphaël! Your insight, creative thinking and warm spirit have left a lasting impact on the lab. We are very proud of you and are excited to see what comes next! 🎉🎉🎉🎉

Ph.D. student Noémie Frébault gave a very interesting talk yesterday at the 2025 UQAM Research Day about AltZyxin, an alternative muscle protein. Great work!

Ph.D. student Ivan Valette gave a very engaging talk today at the Montreal C. elegans Monthly Meeting about MIG-6/Papilin and it's mediation of the maintenance of neuronal architecture by remodeling the extracellular matrix and affecting the TGF-β signaling pathway.

Ivan Valette, Ph.D. student gave a talk at the CERMO-FC Research Center Meeting about MIG-6/Papilin mediated neuronal architecture maintenance and was awarded best oral presentation . No surprises here, congrats again!

Noémie Frébault, Ph.D. student gave a beautiful talk today at the Quebec Worm Meeting at the McGill University Health Center today on the functional study of an alternative protein encoded by the dual coding gene ZYX/zyx-1 with implications for dystrophinopathies . Well done!

Today Ph.D. students Marin Pascal and Ivan Valette delivered an outstanding presentation on their work on the molecular and cellular bases behind neuronal dysfunction in Hunter's syndrome and other MPS diseases, showcasing the work they have done thanks to the 2023 Félix-Antoine Aublet Scholarship . Very well done!!
