(2005) and Ph.D. in Virology and Immunology (2008) from Université de Montréal. As a grad student in the labs of Rafick-Pierre Sékaly and Daniel Lamarre, he showed that dendritic cells (through cytokine signals) act as rheostat to control cell death by enabling CD8+ T-cell exhaustion using the Hepatis C virus infection model. He later did his postdoctoral training in biochemistry and genetics with Maya Saleh at McGill University (2010-2016). There, Dr Rodrigue-Gervais continued to study the control of cell death in infection and demonstrated how the inhibitor of apoptosis protein CIAP2 shapes the cell death defense to influenza A virus, dictating disease outcome. Dr Rodrigue-Gervais started his own lab after joining the faculty of INRS-Institut Armand-Frappier (INRS-IAF) in the Sumer of 2016. Studies in his lab are principally designed to understand at a systems level the regulation of cell survival and adaptation to stress during respiratory viral infections.
