Biography

Yannick Tremblay received a Bachelor of Science in Agriculture from McGill University. He started his research training by sequencing a small plasmid found in the ruminant pathogen Histophilus somni. During his Master's degree, he worked on a pathogen and studied its ability to acquire iron from hemoglobin. He then moved to Dalhousie University in Halifax for his PhD, focusing on the essential two-component signal transduction system found in the dental pathogen Streptococcus mutans. Upon completing his PhD, he pursued postdoctoral training at the Faculty of Veterinary Medicine at Université de Montréal, studying biofilm formation in pathogens important to public health and veterinary medicine. After a brief period as a visiting researcher at McGill University, he moved to Paris, France, where he was hired by Institut Pasteur as a research associate to characterize biofilms formed by the enteric pathogen Clostridioides difficile. Throughout his post-secondary education and research training, he developed a keen interest in teaching and mentoring both undergraduate and graduate students, supervising 15 undergraduate projects and one graduate project while also teaching various classes.
