In general, my research activities relate to certain pathologies affecting the brain and the liver and are of a fundamental and clinical nature. Specifically, my laboratory is interested in:
The implication of nutritional factors related to complications of liver disease such as hepatic encephalopathy and the prevention of malnutrition in chronic and / or terminal liver disease.
Analysis of the factors and mechanisms associated with the triggering of lactic acidosis attacks in children with French Canadian Leigh Syndrome (Saguenay-Lac-Saint-Jean lactic acidosis).
The study of the impact of a gene mutation (LRPPRC) on mitochondrial function and vulnerability to inflammatory stress in vitro and in vivo .
The study of the link between oxidative stress, inflammation and brain function as well as antioxidant interventions in order to decrease the toxicity of reactive species and inflammatory modulators.
