Biography: 

Dr. Choquet completed her PhD in Human Genetics under the supervision of Drs. Bernard Brais and Claudia Kleinman at Â鶹AV. She then pursued a post-doctoral fellowship in Genetics in the lab of Dr. Stirling Churchman at Harvard Medical School, supported by CIHR and FRQS fellowships. Throughout her training, she acquired a multi-disciplinary expertise in transcriptomics, bioinformatics and molecular biology and published 31 articles spanning fields from fundamental mechanisms of gene expression to rare genetic diseases. Since July 2023, she has been an Assistant Professor in the Department of Biochemistry and Functional Genomics at Université de Sherbrooke. Dr. Choquet’s research focuses on the use of nanopore sequencing to analyze RNAs at all stages of their life cycle, with a particular interest in RNA splicing defects in inherited muscle diseases and during aging.
