Published on May 12, 2010
Students from IRIC distinguished themselves at the Proteomics and Systems Biology Symposium presented at the 78th annual convention of l’Association francophone pour le savoir (Acfas) on May 11th. They earned the three prizes awarded to students for the quality of their presentations.
The laureates and their presentations:
- Stéphane Barakat, Postdoctoral fellow, Hematopoiesis and Leukemia Research Laboratory, Analyse protéomique du facteur de transcription SCL : identification de partenaires importants dans les cellules souches hématopoiétiques
- Gaelle Bridon, Ph.D. student, Proteomics and Bioanalytical Mass Spectrometry Laboratory, Dissection moléculaire des événements de signalisation précoces reliés à l’interféron gamma dans des cellules de macrophages J774 par une étude quantitative phosphoprotéomique
- Mathieu Courcelles, Ph.D. student, Proteomics and Bioanalytical Mass Spectrometry Laboratory, Cinétique du phosphoprotéome des cellules épithéliales de rat suite à l’inhibition de la voie ERK
The jury was comprised of Jérôme Garin, Director of the Étude de la dynamique des protéomes laboratory at the Commissariat à l’énergie atomique (CEA) Grenoble; Hélène Perreault, Professor in the Department of Chemistry University of Manitoba; Anne-Claude Gingras, Investigator at the Samuel Lunenfeld Research Institute of Toronto’s Mount Sinai Hospital; and Pierre Chaurand, Associate Professor in the Department of Chemistry at the Université de Montréal.
The annual Acfas convention is the most important multidisciplinary gathering of French-speaking researchers from over thirty countries. Every research field is addressed including life sciences, health sciences, physical sciences, mathematics and engineering, humanities and social sciences, and education.
