At the Université de Montréal since January 2019.

Yves was awarded a prestigious Canada 150 Research Chair, which provides $1 million per year for 7 years (2019-2026) in research funds. This provides unprecedented resources to the lab in the exciting multidisciplinary research environment offered by Montréal.

The lab is in the Department of Microbiology, Infectious Diseases, and Immunology of the Faculty of Medicine of the Université de Montréal.

The Université de Montréal  is one of the top research universities in Canada. According to Re$earchInfosource the institution ranked #4 in Canada in 2017 for the amount of research dollars attracted and in research intensity (research dollars/faculty member). Researchers in the Faculty of Medicine typically attract 60% of these resources.

Montréal is a great place to live, study, and work:

• It is an exciting, multicultural and bilingual (French and English) city. It is known for its vibrant artistic, cultural, gastronomic, nightlife, and sports scenes.
• It is well known as one of the leaders in big data, artificial intelligence, engineering, and biomedical sciences.
• The Economist recently ranked Montréal as one of the best cities in the world to live based on a range of criteria including safety, livability and cost.
• Montreal was ranked 6th Best student city in the world in 2019 by QS Top Universities.
• Montreal is inexpensive relative to most cities. See this and similar cost of living comparison sites.
