Marilou Blais

Summer internship (May–August 2026)

I am currently an undergraduate student in microbiology and immunology at the Université de Montréal. Over the course of my first two years, I have developed a strong interest in host-parasite interactions. I am particularly fascinated by the ways in which bacteria develop defense mechanisms against phages, and how phages in turn adapt to coevolve. When I am not studying, there is a good chance you will find me on a mountain trail, as trail running has been a passion of mine since childhood.
