Marin Pascal, Ph.D. student gave an insightful talk at the Montreal C. elegans  Monthly Meeting about neuron-glia interactions through SAX-7/L1CAM and neuronal architecture maintenance.

For this rendition of the CERMO-FC annual symposium, we had the great pleasure of having everyone in the lab presenting fantastic posters and showcasing their hard work in the past year. Special congrats to Ph.D. students Marin Pascal and Ivan Valette for landing the Best Poster Awards ! Very nice work everyone!

Noémie Frébault, Ph.D. student gave a talk at the CERMO-FC Research Center Meeting about alternative protein ALTZYX-1 and was awarded best oral presentation . Congrats again!

M.Sc. student Jeffrey Killeen and Ph.D. student Ivan Valette have jointly been awarded the 2025 edition of the CERMO-FC Féline-Antoine Aublet Scholarship, for their ongoing work on the molecular and cellular mechanisms underlying neuronal dysfunction in MPS diseases. Outstanding work, well done to both of you!!

Congrats to Ph.D. students Yann Aghiles Chabi and Marin Pascal for their great poster presentations at the 2025 International Worm Meeting at UC Davis, shining more light on our lab on a global scale!

Noémie Frébault, Ph.D student gave a great talk this morning at the 2025 International Worm Meeting at UC Davis on AltZyxin, an alternative protein translated from the same transcript as Zyxin, and it's regulation of muscle biology. Very well done!

Very nice work to all of you today!

Ivan Valette, Ph.D. student gave an informative talk at the Quebec Worm Meeting at UQTR today on MIG-6/papilin as a global regulator of the extracellular matrix that affects TGF-β signaling . Well done!

Yann Aghiles Chabi, Ph.D. student gave an informative talk at the Quebec Worm Meeting at UQTR today on dietary restriction, and it's preservation of neuronal integrity during aging via PHA-4/FOXA-mediated regulation of the cell adhesion molecule SAX-7/L1 . Well done!

M.Sc. student Jeffrey Killeen has just received a two year master's scholarship from the Fonds de recherche du Québec - Santé. Great news, well done Jeffrey!!
