Biography

Paul Jolicoeur is a professor and researcher at the Department of Microbiology, Infectiology and Immunology at the University of Montreal. His research primarily focuses on the molecular mechanisms underlying neurodegenerative diseases, particularly those triggered by retroviruses. Jolicoeur's lab studies the molecular biology of spongiform encephalopathy in mouse models, aiming to identify oncogenes activated by viral genome integration in T-cell lymphomas. His work has contributed to understanding oncogenes and tumor suppressors in breast tumors and the molecular pathology of HIV. Additionally, he has supervised numerous graduate dissertations, with research on the effect of HIV-1 proteins on cellular functions and the molecular pathways involved in HIV-induced immunodeficiencies. Jolicoeur has received several prestigious awards, including the Léo-Pariseau Prize and recognition from the Royal Society of Canada. His extensive research projects have received funding from various national and international grants, focusing on HIV, cancer pathogenesis, and cellular responses to infections. He is a member of the Clinical Research Institute of Montreal that further enhances collaborative research efforts in infectious diseases.
