Our lab received the 2026-27 RARE.Qc Structuring Collaborative Grant Award.

A team led by Dr. Roberta La Piana with Dr. Karine Choquet from University of Sherbrooke and Dr. Thomas Durcan, Director of the Early Drug Discovery Unit at the Neuro will model glial dysfunction in Fragile X Associated Tremor/Ataxia Syndrome (FXTAS) using patient-derived iPSCs.

New paper published!

We reviewed the brain MRI of patients with Wolfram Syndrome and found white matter lesions suggestive of an inflammatory process in 41% of them.
While a dual diagnosis Wolfram syndrome-MS cannot be excluded, these findings suggest that long term brain MRI follow up in adult patients with Wolfram syndrome is recommended.
Congratulations to Justin Simo and all those who collaborated.
