Associate professor
Université Du Québec à Trois-RIvières
Trois-Rivieres, Quebec, Canada
Dr Genevieve Pepin joined the Université-du-Québec à Trois-Rivières as an independent researcher in May 2019. She obtained her PhD in 2015 from the Université Laval in molecular and cellular biology. Then, during her post-doctoral training, she worked under the mentorship of Dr Michael Gantier, an international expert on immune activation by nucleic acids, at the Hudson Institute for Medical Research in Melbourne, Australia. During that time, she uncovered several cellular mechanisms causing nuclear damage and activation of the cGAS-STING immune pathway, altogether publishing 4 first-author papers and collaborating on several others in top-journal such as in Nucleic Acids Research and MBio. As an independent researcher, Dr Pépin now focuses on identifying new roles for the cGAS-STING pathway in physiological and pathological contexts, including during thromboinflammation, by studying various cell populations and using a variety of mouse models.
