The patient who needs immediate assistance should not communicate directly with the researcher. Instead, they should call the doctor’s office or take other appropriate measures, such as going to the nearest emergency service.

Research interests

Our research activities focuses on the respiratory physiopathologies, especially cystic fibrosis, acute respiratory distress syndrome and lung transplantation.
Below is a list of our ongoing projects:

K+ channels as key targets to favor alveolar epithelial integrity and function during the resolution of acute respiratory distress syndrome
Therapeutic strategies for improvement of airway epithelial repair by targeting CFTR defect and bacterial infection in cystic fibrosis patients
Identification of novel markers and therapeutic targets associated with ischemia/reperfusion injury and primary graft dysfunction in lung
Regulatory mechanisms of fluid clearance and lung function by alveolar ion channels

These project are funded by the CIHR, NSERC, the Respiratory Health Network, the Canadian National Transplant Research Program et le Fonds Merck de la faculté de Médecine de l’Université de Montréal.
