Camille successfully defended her thesis during the pandemic, but was finally able to celebrate at summer convocation, not just as a graduate, but as valedictorian and winner of the Governor General’s gold medal! The real achievement was uOttawa’s, for actually getting her to attend convocation.
Congratulations to Camille on her new first author paper. “A lipid site shapes the agonist response of a pentameric ligand-gated ion channel” is now published in Nature Chemical Biology!
The paper looks into the role of a potential lipid binding site in the functional modulation as well as the desensitization of pentameric ligand-gated ion channels.
(Former) MSc student Camille Hénault successfully completed her PhD transfer exam, and officially starts as a PhD student in January 2015. Well done!
Camille Hénault has been presented with the Faculty of Medicine Award for Excellence in Graduate Studies for the MSc Biochemistry program. We’re all very tired of hearing about her.
Congratulations to Daniel Therien and Camille Hénault, who won 1st and 2nd place poster prizes, respectively, in their groups at the inaugural Protein Engineering Canada conference in Ottawa, June 2014!
MSc students Camille Hénault and Jiayin Sun each presented a poster at the 8th annual meeting of the Canadian Association for Neuroscience, in Montréal, QC.
