PhD paper #1 from Mahmoudreza taghizadeh, which was recently accepted for publication in Journal of Applied Physiology, appeared online today ! A nice collaborative work with Matt Brothers, Craig Crandall, The Gagnon Lab at Centre EPIC and Jonathan Smirl ! journals.physiology.org/doi/abs/10.115…

Final version of Mahmoudreza taghizadeh 's PhD paper #1 published in the April 2025 issue of J Appl Physiol ! Congrats ! Jonathan Smirl Matt Brothers The Gagnon Lab at Centre EPIC Marc-Antoine Roy Lawrence Labrecque journals.physiology.org/doi/epdf/10.11…

Research Article: M Taghizadeh et al (Patrice Brassard, PhD Matt Brothers The Gagnon Lab at Centre EPIC @lawrencelabr Jonathan Smirl) Directional sensitivity analysis of the cerebral pressure-flow relationship during normothermia and moderate hyperthermia ow.ly/fzFx50VAhUf


Congrats Marc-Antoine Roy on your FRQ - secteur Santé PhD scholarship ! Very well deserved ! Marc-Antoine is examining the impact of alpha-adrenergic activity on the cerebral pressure-flow relationship directional sensitivity in healthy volunteers

60 visits later, PhD student @ShahrzadSoleim4 completed today her main PhD study examining the impact of moderate and severe hypoxia on the directional sensitivity in the cerebral pressure-flow relationship ! A huge team effort ! Mahmoudreza taghizadeh Marc-Antoine Roy



It was Mahmoudreza taghizadeh turn to complete a study last week ! His first PhD study examined the impact of moderate hyperthermia (+1 degree Celsius of body temperature) on the directional sensitivity in the cerebral pressure-flow relationship ! Another huge effort !


The 4th PhD paper (out of 5) of Lawrence Labrecque accepted for publication in Experimental Physiology, just in time for her PhD defense (June 16th) ! Congrat Lawrence and team ! Mahmoudreza taghizadeh Shahrzad Soleimani Dehnavi Jonathan Smirl Marc-Antoine Roy


The big day is almost there for Lawrence Labrecque ! She will defend her thesis on June 16th ! This will be a great show! #directionalsensitivityofdCA


Congrats to our Lawrence Labrecque for an exceptional PhD thesis defense! You couldn't have finished your PhD any better! AWESOME JOB ! #proudsupervisor


Marques, Couture, Bussières, Langevin, Poirier, Voisine, Caouette and Patrice Brassard, PhD (IUCPQ-ULaval) examine the effects of noradrenaline and phenylephrine on cerebral oxygen saturation during cardiopulmonary bypass in cardiac surgery. 📜 buff.ly/OHpgGdw
