Jean-Philippe Brosseau
Principal Investigator
As an Assistant Professor in the Department of Biochemistry and Functional Genomics, he is currently driving a research program to elucidate the functional role of the extracellular matrix in tumor progression, mainly using animal models recapitulating Neurofibromatosis Type I tumors. His lab's overarching goal is to understand tumoral progression better and develop a novel line of anti-cancer therapy.
Fayruza Lalany
Post-Doctoral Fellow
Fayruza holds an undergraduate degree in biochemistry and a master’s degree in microbiology. She recently completed her PhD at Université de Sherbrooke, where her research focused on viral proteins and their interactions with RNA interference pathways. Her work integrated molecular biology, virology, and RNA biology to understand how viruses regulate host gene expression. She joined the Brosseau laboratory as a postdoctoral fellow to work on NF1 gene therapy, with a focus on mRNA-based therapeutic delivery.
Molly Caron
Animal Care Technician
Molly is an animal care technician who joined the lab in April 2024. I am currently taking care of the mice colonies from different projects, doing breeding, genotyping, and giving treatments. I also do nervous system mouse dissections and histoimmunochemestry.
Opeoluwa ALLI-OKE
PhD Research Student
Opeoluwa received her undergraduate and master’s degrees at the University of Lagos, Nigeria. She’s currently undergoing her doctoral program after a direct acceleration passage from her master’s degree program at the Department of Biochemistry and Functional Genomics, UdeS, under an Abdenour-Nabid, MD scholarship, where she's focused on investigating the functional contribution of splicing isoforms to fibroblast differentiation to myofibroblast.
