معرفی
Jonathan Perreault is an Associate Professor and holder of the Chair in Nanobiophotonics at the Armand-Frappier Health Biotechnology Center, National Institute of Scientific Research (INRS). His research focuses on understanding RNA's role in gene regulation, particularly in bacteria, including riboswitches, small RNAs, and their applications in biosensors and environmental biotechnology. He holds a B.Sc. and Ph.D. in Biology/Biochemistry from Université de Sherbrooke and completed a postdoctoral fellowship at Yale University.
His research interests include microbiology, biochemistry, and RNA biology, with a focus on non-coding RNAs' regulatory roles in bacterial processes such as motility and biofilm formation. His team uses bioinformatics, molecular biology, and biophysics to discover novel RNAs and study their functions in environmental and pathogenic contexts.
Publications highlight advancements in RNA structure-function relationships, metagenomic approaches to RNA discovery, and applications in wastewater treatment and viral expression strategies. His work bridges fundamental RNA biology with practical applications in biotechnology and environmental science.
Dr. Perreault’s lab collaborates on projects involving RNA-based biosensors and environmental microbiology. His expertise spans from bench science to computational tools for RNA analysis, contributing to both academic and applied research outcomes.
