I am interested in the challenges of creating large, high quality biological datasets. In the Brun lab I am working to create a platform which can evaluate internal cell state usin... More
Cécile Berne
Research Scientist
I am interested in understanding the signals dictating biofilm formation and dispersion in Caulobacter, and dissecting how holdfast works at the biophysical level. I joined the Bru... More
Sukanya Chakraborty
Postdoctoral Fellow
I am always curious about the clever tricks that seemingly simple unicellular organisms use to survive. During my PhD at IISER Pune, I explored how Myxococcus xanthus flip ... More
Farah Obeid Charrouf
Microbiology Graduate student
My research project seeks to understand the role of Tad pili and its dynamic activity in Caulobacter crescentus as well as how it is related to surface sensing. Outside the lab, I ... More
Marie Delaby
Postdoctoral Fellow
I am interested in understanding how bacteria grow and proliferate, and particularly in the different modes of peptidoglycan biosynthesis that bacteria use for their elongation and... More
Alexie Gagné
Lab Manager
I graduated with a bachelor’s degree in Microbiology, Immunology and Infectiology from the University of Montreal in 2022, followed by a Master in Neurosciences in 2024. My resea... More
Solenne Ithurbide
Research Scientist
I love studying unusual microbes to understand how they grow and divide and how DNA content is maintained and segregated during these processes. During my PhD at the Université Pa... More
Maxime Jacq
Research Scientist
My main research interest is on peptidoglycan synthesis and bacterial morphogenesis. I am currently using stalk synthesis in the Asticcacaulis genus as a model for localized peptid... More
Zhor Khadir
Postdoctoral fellow
Before joining the Brun lab, I completed a PhD in cotutelle between Paris-Saclay University in France and Sherbrooke University in Québec, Canada. I am working at the interface be... More
David Kysela
Research Scientist
I study bacterial aging, including both how it occurs mechanistically and why it occurs evolutionarily. Along the way, I develop technology for high-throughput imaging and analysis... More

I recently graduated with a bachelor’s degree in chemistry from Université de Montréal. As now a member of Yves Brun’s lab, my res... More
Vaidehi Patel
Postdoctoral Fellow
I am interested in understanding regulation of peptidoglycan biosynthesis during bacterial growth and morphogenesis. I did my BS in microbiology at Gujarat University in India and ... More
Greg Whitfield
Postdoctoral Fellow
I’m interested in understanding the functional mechanisms of multi-component bacterial nanomachines, with a current focus on the Tad pilus machinery of Caulobacter crescentus. Pr... More
Sébastien Zappa
Research Scientist
After playing with enzymes from extremophilic archaea and various features of photosynthetic bacteria (photoreceptors, tetrapyrroles, iron homeostasis, encystment), I... More
