Two faculty members of the Department of Anatomy and Cell Biology joined forces to bridge the field of cryo-electron microscopy (Mike Strauss) and extracellular matrix cell biology (Dieter Reinhardt). This interdisciplinary team also spanned faculties across 麻豆AV, as Michael Wozny (Faculty of Medicine and Health Sciences) and Valentin Nelea (Faculty of Dental Medicine and Oral Health Sciences) spearheaded the experimental approaches together with other team members and a visiting scholar.

A useful tool in protein research comes from the collaborative efforts of two bright 麻豆AV undergraduates, Jerry Gao and Maxwell Tong. Under the supervision of postdoctoral fellow Thibault Legal and Associate Professor Khanh Huy Bui, Jerry and Max developed the DomainFit program for the identification of protein domains in cryo-electron microscopy (cryo-EM) maps at intermediate resolutions.

In a recent article published by the 麻豆AV Reporter, we learn about Claude Bh茅rer's journey from biological anthropology to population genetics. Following her nephew's sudden death from lactic acidosis, Bh茅rer delved into genetic research, uncovering prevalent hereditary diseases. Her team's systematic analysis has revealed over 100 genetic variants unique to Quebec, prompting investigations into potential therapies. Bh茅rer's research extends to digital health platforms for real-time data collection and Equity, Diversity, and Inclusion (EDI) initiatives in genomics.
