The RQECD would like to congratulate Jade Degrandmaison who brilliantly defended his doctoral thesis on Delta-like opioid receptors (DOPr), a promising therapeutic target in the treatment of chronic pain. Co-directed by teachers Louis Gendron et Jean-Luc Parent from the IPS, Jade Degrandmaison's project consisted in exploring candidate proteins likely to improve the access of pharmacological compounds to this receptor mainly positioned at the intracellular level.
Jade will continue her academic career in neuroscience at the University of Copenhagen in Denmark. We should also remember that last May, Jade received prestigious funding of 2,4 million DKK (approximately 480 000 Canadian dollars over 3 years) from the Lundbeck Foundation (Lundbeckfonden) for her postdoctoral studies.
Join us in warmly congratulating the brilliant career of this RQECD student!
