(EN) We are located in the department of microbiology at the Université de Sherbrooke (Sherbrooke, Canada). If you missed some geography classes and cannot place Sherbrooke, our town is about 100 miles southeast of Montreal, just north of the Vermont/Quebec border. Our research is centered around questions dealing with the maintenance of the termini of eukaryotic chromosomes, the telomeres. For most of our work, we use genetics and molecular biology, and our model organism of choice is the yeast Saccharomyces cerevisiae. Follow our links to learn more about us. Thanks for visiting us.
(FR) Nous sommes situés au département de microbiologie et d’infectiologie de l’Université de Sherbrooke au Québec (Canada). Nous utilisons la levure Saccharomyces cerevisiae comme organisme modèle pour l’étude des mécanismes nécessaires au maintien des fins de chromosomes, les télomères. Pour ce faire, nous appliquons des techniques génétiques et de biologie moléculaire. Suivez nos différents liens (en haut) pour en savoir plus. Merci de votre visite.
(CH) Laider tuan i dae text nit ins schwiizerduetsch uebresetza. Obwohl i mi freua dass oeppert das laest, mueand iar halt Englisch koenna!!
