The abstract vs the actual results.

Today, I visited Minecraft Overworld...

Even status are taking selfies au Musée du Louvre.

I arrived in Paris this afternoon... A bit tire but enjoying some wine in my backyard. Yes, amazingly we found a place in the 16eme with a small back yard.

Ouh Ouh Ouh

Ça fait longtemps que j'avais écouté du Louise Attaque.

J'écoute Plastic Bertrand en faisant la vaisselle. You are the king of the divan...

I know, and they lure me to the coffee break area by telling me there was a problem with a microscope in the cell culture room.

Update, the lab prepared cakes for my promotion!

Merci d'avoir organisé l'évènement. Je trouvais ça vraiment cool que les membres du labo soient invités!

Most recent team picture. I am so lucky to work with those amazing scientists!

👏 The IRCM salutes Dr. Michel Cayouette's remarkable commitment to Fighting Blindness Canada (VCC). For over 10 years, Dr. Cayouette, Vice-President of Research and Academic Affairs at the IRCM, has been involved with VCC's Board of Directors and chairs its Scientific Advisory Committee. 🔬 As head of the IRCM's Cellular Neurobiology Research Unit and the FRQS Vision Sciences Research Network, Dr. Cayouette and his teams conduct cutting-edge research in visual health that advances knowledge of eye diseases and paves the way for new therapies. Congratulations and thank you for this exceptional commitment to research!

Probably the same people who asked for a narrative CV?

Molecular basis of vitamin-K-driven γ-carboxylation at the membrane interface - Nature Cryo-electron microscopy structures reveal the mechanisms underlying multiple-substrate specificity, coupling of epoxidation with carboxylation and allosteric motions during VKGC catalysis, offering p...

3) GGCX is a complex protein to fold (9 TM) and contains multiple glycosylation sites on its C-terminus which are required for its activity. It is unlikely that it could exist in a non-glycosylated version and still be active. See the recently published structure:

www.nature.com/articles/s41...

2) VK reduction occurs on the luminal side of the ER membrane, so it is really hard to understand how this flipped GGCX will be able to access its cofactor from the cytosolic site.

My lab works on GGCX and VK, and I was very surprised when I read that paper. There are several issues with the proposed model: 1) We never detected carboxylated protein in the cytosol in any of our proteomic screens.

📣 We are looking for a full-time research technician. This is a great opportunity for recent grads seeking additional hands-on experience before grad or med school.

I wrote this editorial with my former PhD advisor Dr Jean Vacher! (sorry I forgot to post it before)

Oui effectivement.

One burning question is who will be the next James Bond? How about Pedro Pascal?

For scientists, the challenge of bringing science from the lab to the patient's bedside is enormous. The Office of Research Transfer supports discoveries so they become innovative therapies. After completing a thesis in molecular biology, Sarah Nahlé chose to focus on research transfer. For the past month and a half, she has been completing a stimulating internship at the IRCM's Office of Research Promotion. 🔬 "[…] supporting researchers in the promotion of their discoveries is something I'm extremely interested in." Her goal? To bridge the gap between science and industry to transform advances into concrete solutions for patients. A mission that is a core priority for the IRCM. 👏 Congratulations, Sarah, on this promising career path!

I found those photos of my great-grandparents. They were not rich and lived on a rocky land in St-Eleuthere, QC.
