Pierrette Gaudreau is a Full Professor in the Department of Medicine at the Faculty of Medicine, Université de Montréal. She directs the Réseau québécois de recherche sur le vieillissement (RQRV) and the Laboratory of Neuroendocrinology of Aging at the CRCHUM. Her research focuses on neuroendocrinology, nutrition, and aging, particularly the mechanisms contributing to healthy aging and the role of growth hormone-releasing hormone (GHRH) receptors. She has led major cohort studies like NuAge, examining nutrition and physiological dysregulation in aging.
- Educations: PhD in Biological Sciences, specialization in Neuroendocrinology.
Her research interests include:
- Peptidergic control of appetite and somatotropic function.
- Molecular mechanisms of aging and renal protection.
- Longitudinal studies on nutrition and successful aging.
Notable Awards:
- Prix Adrien-Pouliot (2016) for Franco-Québécois scientific collaboration.
- Member of the Canadian Academy of Health Sciences (2017).
Her grants include leadership roles in the RQRV network and the NuAge cohort study, focusing on intersectoral aging research and geroscience. Collaborations span institutions like the CHUM and FRSQ-funded initiatives. She oversees multidisciplinary teams addressing aging-related challenges in endocrinology, nutrition, and geriatrics.
Labs/Teams: Director, Laboratory of Neuroendocrinology of Aging; Coordinator, NuAge Study Biological Sample Bank.
