Were you at the CSPB 2023 meeting at U. Laval?

Centre SÈVE was well represented (and so was the CSIPC) this year, with several talks and posters from students, postdocs and professors from UQTR, UQAM, UdeS, McGill, ULaval, UQAR and other universities!

We wish to congratulate Charles Roussin-Léveillée for receiving an honourable mention for the Ragai Ibrahim Award for his paper on how bacteria use conserved effectors to create an aqueous environment in the leaf apoplast, he also received the Prix Relève Étoile from FRQNT for the same paper. Bravo, Charles!!!

Charles research supervisor and Centre SÈVE’s director Peter Moffet received the Mary Spencer Award for his outstanding research and outreach in the plant biology community. Congratulations, Peter!
