Congrats to new and renewed Canada Research Chairs from OISB Maxime Rousseaux Mary-Ellen Harper Mireille Khacho !

My lab is recruiting! Looking for a PhD student to work on projects related skeletal muscle health and mitochondrial biology. If interested, please send your CV to: [email protected]

📢Welcome to join us for the last talk of this year! Dr. Stephanie Tobin will be sharing her fascinating research on “Decoding Muscle Loss: Cardiac Cachexia, tRNA Dysregulation, and Muscle Atrophy Pathways”. 🗓️Join us virtually on Monday, Nov. 25th from 2 to 3 pm #ScienceTwitter

AMPK regulates the maintenance and remodelling of the neuromuscular junction - ScienceDirect sciencedirect.com/science/articl…

Our work is now online ⁦Nature Communications⁩! Led by ⁦Bianca Marcella⁩ we show that GSK3 inhibition, alone or combined with exercise, can provide benefits to muscle and metabolic health in mdx mice! nature.com/articles/s4146…

New! Online now: Mitochondrial calcium uptake declines during aging and is directly activated by oleuropein to boost energy metabolism and skeletal muscle performance dlvr.it/TGPjSV
