Michel Cayouette

I was honored this week to receive the Marcel Piché prize. But a prize is never a one person achievement. Thanks to everyone who made an impact in my career (too many to name all). And check out the nice video! www.instagram.com/reel/DR4YwVp...

Cool stuff, congrats!

Just a heads up: I just got a phishing attempt pretending to be from the #VisualSystemDevelopment #GRC. It looked pretty convincing at first glance, so be careful!

Developmental Dynamics <em>Developmental Dynamics</em> is a developmental biology journal publishing novel discoveries that advance our understanding in development, morphology, evolution, and disease.

Dear #Neuroscience researchers, I am Guest Editing an issue in @devdynamics.bsky.social on NEURAL MIGRATION.
Due date: March 31, 2026.

Great opportunity to showcase your findings on neural migration. #DevBio

Please reskeet 🙏

Congrats Joaquina! Great to see this out.

In my postdoc lab, there was a tube of anti-GFAP labelled "1979 batch" and I used it multiple times successfully!

We are so happy to have had our book launch at the vision sciences research day in Montreal! 👀 🧠 😄 📚

Maybe, but private investment is not interested in fundamental research. Only applied. Serves a different purpose. We need fundamental discovery research to fuel applied research, and I think it is the government’s job to fuel this.

All nice and good, but they forgot one thing: success rates for federal grant applications hover around 15%, how will these newcomers get funding for their research after they move to Canada? It is one thing to attract, but we also need sustainability for excellent science!

We will all fight for the bread crumbs, while the international talents will come and fix Canadian science on big money...🙄

Thanks Levi, hope all is well!

Thank you Samer! Hope to catch up soon!

Retinal glia regulate development of the circadian photoentrainment circuit Circadian photoentrainment depends on intrinsically photosensitive retinal ganglion cells (ipRGCs), which convey environmental light information to th…

Our latest paper is out! While the circadian photoentrainment circuit has been extensively studied, the mechanisms regulating its development remain poorly understood. Here we show that retinal Müller glia play a key role in this process. Check it out! www.sciencedirect.com/science/arti...

Call for applications: A fifth edition for the Early-Career Scientist Seminar Series

You are a postdoc looking for an opportunity to present your latest work and discuss with leaders in the field? Apply to the early career scientists seminar series @ircm.bsky.social ! If selected, we pay for your expenses to come spend a day with us and give a seminar! www.ircm.qc.ca/en/news-deta...

For sure. But the least we can do is to invest the same (or more) portion of our GDP for research as countries of the OECD.

Canada’s brain gain: A scientific migration amid U.S turmoil More than 600 scientists – about half from the U.S. – ‘raise their hands’ as they compete for positions at a Canadian Hospital.

I’m sure this guy is great, not the point, but to think the solution to Canadian scoence is to attract a few dozen scientists from abroad is complete nonsense. There are just as good scientists here. The problem is chronic underfunding. But this does not make headlines www.ctvnews.ca/health/artic...

Cayouette delivers 2025 Beebe Lecture on retinal development and regeneration | Ophthalmology & Visual Sciences Michel Cayouette, PhD, presents “Retinal Development and Regeneration” for the 2025 Beebe Lectureship at WashU’s Vision Science Seminar.

It was a wonderful visit, so much strong vision science going on at Wash U ophthalmology! Thanks again for hosting me!! ophthalmology.wustl.edu/notable-beeb...

Enjoy the long weekend everyone! #galgo #fall #thanksgiving #canada

It was a pleasure to have you at the research day! Congratulations again on a fantastic project!

Check this out! So nice!

Collaboration with @ircm.bsky.social colleagues: Cayouette lab (Awais Javed and @michelcayouette.bsky.social), Malleshaiah lab (Loïck Joumier and Mohan Malleshaiah), Yacine Kherdjimil, leader of the "Disease modelling and Gene Editing" platform, and Konstantin Ketchoumian. @umontreal-en.bsky.social

Congratulations!!

On my way to Wash U to give the David Beebe lecture in ophthalmology. Particularly honored as I remember Dr. Beebe giving me words of encouragement after the very first talk I gave in an international conference as a student. I remember his kindness very well!

Oh look at this!! Beautiful, and it will be out just in time for your Xmas shopping. Great gift idea for kids, a coloring book about vision!!! 🤩

Only missing you Anna! 😉 Hopefully next time!

Fantastic workshop !!!! Thank you again Seth and Michel !!!

Such a fantastic workshop indeed! Great group of people, fantastic science all around, deep discussions lab meeting style and a lot of fun in a beautiful environment! Thanks Michel and Seth for pulling this off!!!

It’s the end of a wonderful workshop on Vision Restoration : Insights from Development at Fondation des Treilles, France. Stay tuned for a perspective paper on what was discussed and presented during this amazing week of science!
