For the first time, the assembled Le Roux Lab went to the CSM conference. Manon, Carine, Martin and Frédérique spent 4 days in Ontario, Canada, networking and learning about new projects in the microbiology field. Manon also presented her previous PhD project (the one she pursued in France) in a 15 minute conference! Well done […]

We moved into our new lab!

After several months of wait, we finally moved into our new (and permanent) lab! In the video below you will see how big the lab is and all of the equipment we have. We are super happy to finally be able to work here!

The editorial: Microbiology Education in Society, was finally published!

Microphiles Seminar of our department.

Among the many conferences Frédérique has been giving lately, this last conference was in our Microbiology Department at UdeM. She presented some previous results, as well as future projects and unpublished results. We had a lot of very interesting questions and brainstorming of ideas!

Frédérique was nominated for the IVADO Professor in AI award!

IVADO’s contribution aims to facilitate the integration and influence of a new professor within the Canadian university reality and to contribute to the launch of her research career. This award correlates with our aim to dissect coevolution mechanisms by analyzing, bacterial defenses, cross-infection matrices and phage accessory genomes, potentially revealing a diverse array of anti-defense systems.
