Dr. Soudeyns obtained his PhD from McGill University in 1997 under the supervision of Dr. Rafick-Pierre Sekaly. After completing a postdoctoral fellowship at the Centre Hospitalier Universitaire Vaudois in Lausanne with Dr. Giuseppe Pantaleo, he was trained in Dr. Anthony S. Fauci's team at the National Institutes of Health (NIH). Returning to Montreal in 2000, he joined the research center at CHU Sainte-Justine, where he still works today. He specializes in chronic viral infections and HIV/AIDS, focusing on the role of T lymphocytes in host defense. Using advanced techniques in immunology, virology, and molecular biology, Dr. Soudeyns and his team investigate the maternal and child immune responses' influence on the vertical transmission of HIV and Hepatitis C. They have received support from recognized funding agencies such as CIHR, CANFAR, and the Bill & Melinda Gates Foundation. Dr. Soudeyns also studies the reconstitution of antiviral immune responses in pediatric recipients of bone marrow and cord blood transplants, aiming to better control and potentially cure the severe impact of these infections in children.
