Félicitations! Nos chercheurs entameront 17 nouveaux projets dans le but d’accélérer les découvertes au service de la santé humaine, grâce au soutien des CIHR dans le cadre du concours de subventions Projet de l’automne 2021. bit.ly/3LlHbmZ

Leah Flatman (PhD Student of Dr. Évelyne Vinet and co-supervisor Dr. Sasha Bernatsky) presented her research at today's Work In Progess seminar. For more on all IDIGH webinars visit: idigh.ca/webinars

RI-MUHC postdoc Léna Royston, PhD, aims to understand how cytomegalovirus infection can increase inflammation and cause health issues. Dr. Royston and her team are supervised by Dr. Jean-Pierre Routy in the IDIGH at the RI-MUHC.

We are excited to share the results of a long-term genomic epidemiology project which included sequencing of M. tuberculosis isolates from all culture-positive TB patients over 2 years in Moldova. Full analysis is available at: journals.plos.org/plosmedicine/a…

This June, students, academics, industry experts, and policy makers from all across the globe will take part in McGill University’s Summer Institute in #infectiousdiseases and #globalhealth. Will once again co-direct the #AMR course. Please join us! mcgill.ca/summerinstitut…

Epigenetics distinguishes COVID-19 survivors already at hospital admission: lessons for drug repurposing. David Langlais Erwin Schurr Vinicius M Fava @mbourgey science.org/doi/10.1126/sc…

A new small study in Science Advances has identified three drugs that could potentially reduce mortality in severely ill patients with #COVID19. fcld.ly/kx5fcf6

Great work led by Vinicius Fava, @mbourgey, Erwin Schurr and David Langlais !
