Michel Cayouette is a professor and researcher at Université de Montréal, affiliated with the Faculty of Medicine and the Department of Medicine. His research primarily focuses on the cellular and molecular mechanisms that control neuronal diversity during the development of the nervous system. Particularly, he investigates how retinal stem cells proliferate and differentiate to produce the various cell types that form the retina, employing genetic approaches in mouse models and real-time cellular imaging. His work aims to lead to the development of cell therapies based on neural stem cells for reconstructing different areas of the central nervous system. Cayouette has been involved in several significant research projects pertaining to neurogenesis in the retina, seeking improved cell therapies for retinal dystrophies, and has published extensively in the field. He actively supervises graduate and doctoral students in their research endeavors, contributing to the academic growth of future scientists in the area of neuroscience.
