POINT-SCIENCE CREATOR

Fatéma Dodat
PhD in Pharmaceutical Sciences from Faculté de Pharmacie and Institut de Recherche en Immunologie et en Cancérologie (IRIC) of Université de Montréal
With a double background in pharmaceutical sciences and molecular biology, I like to make science accessible and interesting. I did an internship in communication and media relations at IRIC in order to acquire solid skills in scientific communication.
Find out more about my other experiences in scientific outreach.
SPEAKERS ON POINT-SCIENCE

Jack Bauer
PhD candidate in Molecular Biology at Institut de Recherche en Immunologie et en Cancérologie (IRIC) of Université de Montréal
As a doctoral student in biology at the University of Montreal, I like to promote the importance of academic research through initiatives in science diplomacy and use different forms of visual art to communicate my passion for science.
Laura Bojarskaité
PhD in Neuroscience at the Institute of Basic Medical Sciences (Faculty of Medicine) of University of Oslo
I am researching sleep, brainwashing and the beautiful star shaped cells of the brain - the astrocytes, in order to understand why we sleep and how astrocytes are involved in sleep. I am passionate about making science accessible to the general public so that more people can be fascinated by science and benefit from it!

Martin Chenal
PhD student in Biology at the National Institute for Scientific Research (INRS) in Montreal
After several stages of research on HIV, it is finally in bacteriology that I have to specialize. The domain of the infinitely small is surprisingly complex, which is why I am committed to popularizing it and sharing it with the general public.


Maude Hamilton
Master student in Cellular Biology at the Faculty of Medicine and Health Sciences of Universit

Kevin L'Espérance
PhD student in Public Health and Epidemiology at the University of Montreal and at the CHUM Research Center.
As a biochemist and epidemiologist, my research interests focus on genetics and lifestyle habits related to the health of populations. I like to make science simple, exciting and accessible to everyone.

Myreille Larouche
PhD candidate in Biochemistry at Institut de Recherche en Immunologie et en Cancérologie (IRIC) of Université de Montréal
In the lab, I'm trying to get a better understanding of how the cells, the LEGO blocks in our body, divide effectively. At the same time, I work to make science accessible and fun for my fellow citizens from all walks of life.

Sara Marullo
PhD candidate in Molecular Biology at Institut de Recherche en Immunologie et en Cancérologie (IRIC) of Université de Montréal
Because communication is the key to success, I am interested in the communication that takes place in our cells and is often deregulated in certain forms of cancer. And since a good sketch is better than a long speech, I share my curiosity and my science by drawing!

Romain Melich
Graduated from the doctoral school of chemistry at the Claude Bernard University in Lyon (France)
Graduated from a PhD in the Laboratory of Automation, Process Engineering and Pharmaceutical Engineering, I am naturally curious and passionate about research. I am currently working on the development of contrast agents in the form of bubbles and drops, for ultrasound biomedical applications for diagnosis and / or therapy.

Maria Virginia Ruiz Cuevas
PhD candidate in Bioinformatics at Institut de Recherche en Immunologie et en Cancérologie (IRIC) of Université de Montréal
After graduating in Computer Science in Colombia, I decided to explore the world by studying abroad. I did a master's degree in bioinformatics in Paris amd here I am in Montreal (Canada). I aspire to continue to discover the world and for now, my research focuses on the study of the cells that govern the immune system and aims to complete the repertoire of human immunopeptide to develop immunotherapeutic protocols.

Alexandra Soler
PhD in human health biology at the University of Montpellier (France)
With a PhD in cancer biology, I am passionate about bench work and the development of new research techniques. I also love to picture science so that non-scientists can playfully understand how our human body works.

Florence Véronneau-Veilleux
PhD candidate in Pharmacometry at Faculté de Pharmacie of Université de Montréal
With a master's degree in applied mathematics, I am particularly interested in modeling and the contribution of mathematics to other disciplines. I am also passionate about teaching and popular science.
