Job

Research Coordinator Programme de perfusion ex-vivo du poumon (EVLP), CHUM-CRCHUM

Research Interests

Preclinical and translational research:

  1. Porcine model of systemic inflammation and acute lung injury induced with LPS infusion: reconditioning of marginal donor lungs with ex-vivo lung perfusion (EVLP).
  2. Transplantation of porcine DCD lungs (donation after cardiocirculatory death + 2h of warm ischemia) after therapeutic reconditioning during EVLP.
  3. Optimization of the ex-vivo lung perfusion platform for prolonged therapeutic reconditioning and pharmacologic intervention (12H EVLP).
  4. Evaluation of lung function with EVLP in a porcine DCD model for cardiac procurement followed by normothermic regional perfusion (EVLP Post-NRP).

Clinical and applied research:

  1. Normothermic ex-vivo lung reconditioning in clinical lung transplantation (EVLP - CHUM).
  2. Organ donation after Medical Assistance in Dying (MAiD) in Quebec: lung evaluation with EVLP and outcomes after lung transplantation.

Immunopathology

The Immunopathology Research Theme comprises a group of researchers spanning the basic and clinical research continuum and focusing on the immune/inflammatory processes involved in the disturbance and restoration of homeostasis. These activities are rooted in shared visions regarding explorat…
