Editor and writer who thrives working around all things tech, especially AI/ML. I love to write, edit, talk, think and collaborate with people. My background of journalism, programming and analytic thinking helps me explain complex topics in concise ways to help others learn.
Dr Frédéric Raymond a obtenu son baccalauréat en microbiologie à l’Université Laval en 2002, sa maîtrise en microbiologie-immunologie en 2004 et son doctorat en physiologie-endocrinologie en 2011. Ses travaux postdoctoraux ont permis de mettre en évidence les facteurs clés qui influencent l’impact des antibiotiques sur le microbiome intestinal. En effet, ses travaux ont montré que la composition initiale du microbiome intestinal affectait l’impact de l’antibiotique sur la composition du microbiome résultant. Frédéric Raymond est professeur adjoint à l’École de Nutrition de l’Université Laval depuis 2018. Il est associé au centre NUTRISS (Nutrition, santé et société) et est membre de l’Institut sur la nutrition et les aliments fonctionnels (INAF).
Le professeur Raymond est à la fois microbiologiste et bioinformaticien. Ses recherches visent à comprendre la relation entre le microbiome intestinal et l’hôte par l’étude des microorganismes et des métabolites qu’ils produisent, avec une attention particulière portée au système endocannabinoïde et à la santé métabolique. Son équipe combine la génomique à l’intelligence artificielle pour mieux comprendre ces systèmes complexes.

Dr. Simon Duchesne’s research aims to enable the earliest possible diagnosis of degeneration of the brain, as caused by disorders such as Alzheimer’s disease. By comparing measurements taken from radiological images of the brains of cognitively healthy people with those of the brains of people with a disease, Professor Duchesne can determine the significant differences that characterize the latter. The presence of such “biomarkers” in the brain could predict the onset of symptoms decades in advance. “If we could detect abnormalities of Alzheimer’s in the brain as early as possible,” says Pr Duchesne, “then we would be able to intervene with a much better chance of halting the development of the disease.”
