Dr. Luc Desgroseillers

Biography

Luc DesGroseillers is an Associate Professor in the Department of Biochemistry and Molecular Medicine at the University of Montreal. He completed his PhD studies in molecular virology at the University of Montreal and pursued postdoctoral studies at Stanford University in molecular neurobiology. For several years, he has been responsible for graduate programs in the Department of Biochemistry and Molecular Medicine. His research focuses on the molecular mechanisms of cell proliferation. His lab studies ribonucleoprotein complexes involved in mRNA transport and the role of post-transcriptional regulation in gene expression. He aims to characterize mechanisms through which mRNA transport influences cellular processes such as synaptic plasticity and cell cycle progression. Major ongoing projects include the molecular characterization of ribonucleoprotein complexes and the physiological importance of mRNA transport in various cellular functions. His research has implications for understanding human diseases associated with the deregulation of RNA, including neurodegenerative disorders and cancers.
