Alain Verreault

Alain Verreault is a Full Professor at the Université de Montréal's Faculty of Medicine, Department of Pathology and Cell Biology. He leads research on chromatin assembly during DNA replication and its link to DNA repair mechanisms, particularly in the context of cancer chemotherapy. His work focuses on histone modifications, including acetylation/deacetylation pathways, and their roles in genomic integrity.

Affiliations: Member of the Institut de recherche en immunologie et en cancérologie (IRIC).
Awards: Canada Research Chair (IRSC), Merck, Sharp & Dohme Fund Program.
Grants: Includes CRSNG funding for projects like 'Histone protein supply and demand' and collaborative studies on acute myeloid leukemia.

Research Themes: Chromosome biogenesis, DNA damage response, histone deacetylases as therapeutic targets, antifungal therapy innovations, and vitamin B3/nicotinamide roles.

Key Projects: Investigates histone deacetylation in DNA repair and develops proteomic methods for histone modification analysis. Collaborates on personalized medicine approaches for leukemia treatment.
