Postdocs summer conferences
This summer, Manon and Jeff flew the flag for our lab by participating in national and international conferences! At the CSM annual conference, Manon presented “David vs. Goliath: How Minimalist Phage Satellites Take Over the Helper Viral Capsid,” highlighting her research findings on phage satellites and capsid hijacking processes. For his part, Jeff presented his work in Japan at a symposium organized jointly by Hokkaido University and the University of Montreal, where he presented “Variation in the Mobile Genome Shapes Diversity in a Canadian Collection of Vibrio parahaemolyticus.” Congratulations to both of you on these noteworthy scientific contributions!
Paper out! Congratulation Jeff, Karine and co!

It is a great opportunity to learn a little more about the richness of […]
Coco
This summer, I had the great pleasure of returning to the field with Corinne (Coco) Audemard (VIMS, USA). Nearly thirty years ago, we worked together on Marteilia and its complex heteroxenous life cycle, a fascinating parasite of mollusks. Today, our research converges again around Vibrio — a remarkable scientific continuity across decades.
EDI Conference: Realities of Trans People in Academic Settingsby Esteban Luis Torres Wicttorff
