What an amazing meeting once again!!

It’s International Day of Women and Girls in Science! To my sisters in science, know you have a champion and an ally. Let’s inspire the next generation to discover. Because more than ever, the world needs science; and science needs women. #WomenInScience

Paper is out! See the final version of our #preprint now published in Epigenetics Journal : Developmental genome-wide DNA methylation asymmetry between mouse placenta and embryo. Thanks again to reviewers for thoughtful suggestions! tandfonline.com/doi/full/10.10…

Very excited to share our new work (Lisa-Marie Legault et al.) Pre-Implantation Alcohol Exposure Induces Lasting Sex-Specific DNA Methylation Programming Errors in the Developing Forebrain #FASD #Epigenetics #DNAmethylation 1/ biorxiv.org/content/10.110…

Today, we launch a new initiative: This Is Epigenetics!—an effort to support Canadian epigenetic researchers and engage people across the country with this rapidly evolving and exciting field of study! Check it out: thisisepigenetics.ca #epigenetics #epigenomics #scicomm #kt

Check out our updated version of the paper!

So happy about that paper!!

En ce mois de la sensibilisation au trouble du spectre d'alcoolisation fœtale, une nouvelle étude du professeur Serge McGraw met en garde contre une forte consommation d’alcool dès la 1re semaine de grossesse. ➡️ bit.ly/39lg2P3 #Epigenetics #DNAmethylation #FASD

Thank you Patrick Lagacé Patrick Lagacé 98.5 FM for the interview on #FASD and our study (PS: work done by great team of trainees Lisa-Marie Legault Karine Doiron Mélanie BL @_alexlangford Anthony Lemieux and collaborators M.Caron, Loydie and D. Sinnett) pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/34425890/

Don't miss out! The deadline for both early bird registration and travel award applications is midnight pacific time!! The 8th Annual Conference on Epigenetics: ceehrc.ca/2022/ Travel Awards for Trainees: thisisepigenetics.ca/for-scientists… #CanEpi22 #IHEC2022 #ThisIsEpigenetics

Awesome view after great science at #DOHaD2022 in Vancouver! First in person meeting since early 2020 and first one with my little human!

Poster tonight at #CanEpi22 Thanks to the Canadian Epigenetics new childcare subsidy initiative for giving me the opportunity to present at the meeting while be present for my little human! Grateful and lucky to evolve in such an inclusive field!

Happy to share our study in FASEB ! Using a mouse model of pre-implantation alcohol exposure, we show that a maternal enriched diet for methyl-donor mitigates the negative impacts of alcohol exposure. #FASD bit.ly/3LcatGS

Our News and Views ―Inheritance of epigenetic DNA marks studied in new mouse model― of the Takahashi et al. Cell 2023 paper on the Transgenerational inheritance of acquired epigenetic signatures at CpG islands in mice. Fun collaboration with Professor Sarah Kimmins nature.com/articles/d4158…

Explore our latest Preprints.org review aiming to highlight O-GlcNAcylation's central role as an epigenetic mark, focusing on histone modifications. Collaboration with Thomas Dupas (new postdoc in our lab) and Prof. Benjamin Lauzier (Nantes Université France ) preprints.org/manuscript/202…

And that's a wrap on #CanEpi23! Thank you to everyone who attended and all of the sponsors for their continued support of our meeting. We've enjoyed seeing all of the amazing science and wonderful interactions that have taken place over the last 3 days. See you all in 2024!

Our newest publication in Biology of Sex Differences , highlighting the importance of including sex-based analyses in epigenetic and transcriptional studies of the mouse placenta. Congrats Lisa-Marie Legault !! Centre de recherche Azrieli du CHU Sainte-Justine Université de Montréal NSERC / CRSNG bsd.biomedcentral.com/articles/10.11…

Amazing project led by Elizabeth Elder Look at these figures 👌🏻

Latest paper is now out! This one might be even more special as it is my last PhD paper. Thanks to all the co-authors & Serge McGraw thanks for everything. I was lucky to spend my years as a graduate student in such a stimulating environment, with an amazing team and involved PI.

Thank you Centre de recherche Azrieli du CHU Sainte-Justine for showcasing our lab's work, led by Lisa-Marie Legault , on the impact of early embryonic alcohol exposure on the placenta. CIHR FRQ - secteur Santé #epigenetics
