Biography

Sébastien Carréno is a full professor at the Université de Montréal in the Faculty of Medicine, specializing in cellular mechanisms during mitosis and migration. His research combines functional genomics, biochemistry, and cell biology to investigate how cells divide and migrate, both in normal and pathological contexts, particularly in processes leading to metastasis development. Current research themes include cell division, intracellular trafficking, cellular migration, and cytoskeleton dynamics. Carréno’s work focuses on the signaling pathways that coordinate interactions between cytoskeletal elements, such as actin and microtubules, and the plasma membrane, which are crucial for regulating cell shape changes during division and migration. He has been recognized with several awards throughout his career, including the Junior Researcher Award from the Canadian Institutes of Health Research and the Quebec Health Research Fund. He has also held numerous funding grants from prestigious organizations, contributing significantly to advancements in cancer research and cellular biology.
