Dr. Guy Rousseau is a Full Professor at the University of Montreal's Faculty of Medicine, Department of Pharmacology and Physiology. He serves as Associate Director of Basic Research at the Sacré-Coeur Hospital Research Center and is a member of the Quebec Research Network on Aging. His research focuses on intracellular signaling in cardiovascular pathologies, regulation of G protein-coupled receptors, and the cardioprotective effects of adenosine and omega-3 fatty acids.

• Key research themes include post-myocardial infarction depression, gut-brain axis interactions, and inflammation modulation via probiotics.
• His work spans molecular mechanisms in myocardial injury, neurobehavioral consequences of cardiovascular events, and microbiome-cardiovascular disease links.

Recent publications highlight his exploration of probiotics in mood disorders, omega-3 fatty acid metabolites in cardioprotection, and uric acid's role in shock-related organ injury. Dr. Rousseau's contributions include grants from the Heart and Stroke Foundation and NSERC, along with editorial board service for Apoptosis.
