The CRCHUM research buildings in downtown Montréal
Join our lab
Our lab focuses on diverse aspects of astrocyte-neuron interactions in the brain. One primary focus of the lab investigates the effects of stress on astrocyte structure and function. We use an array of stress paradigms combined with genetics, molecular biology, electrophysiology, cellular and in vivo imaging, and behavioural assays to model different aspects of stress-disorders. Our goal is to reveal how astrocytes influence neuronal function and output, which in turn underlies behaviour.
Our lab is a highly collaborative environment with many opportunities to collaborate. Trainees in the lab can expect to receive help and guidance from the PI as well as staff members, and other trainees.
