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!

Dr. Malika Nadour officially and brilliantly defended her Ph.D. thesis yesterday, marking the completion of her (second!) doctoral degree. Congratulations on this remarkable achievement, Malika! Your wisdom, generosity, and positive spirit have left a lasting impact on the lab, bringing insight and smiles to everyone around you. We are incredibly proud of you and are excited to see what comes next. 🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉

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!

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! 🎉🎉🎉🎉
