Biomatériaux d’exception : les protéines – de l’adhésion sous-marine à la réparation osseuse Vous avez sans doute déjà entendu parler de protéines aux propriétés extraordinaires. Pensez par exemple à la soie d’araignée, qui, à masse égale, est plus résistante que l’acier[1], ou encore à la…

Dans le cadre d'un événement récurrent du semestre d'hiver, nous présentons notre série d'articles de blog pour 2026, rédigés par nos étudiants : ne manquez pas ça !
Voici le premier article rédigé par Caroline Dupuis, étudiante au laboratoire du Pr. Bourgault. Bonne lecture !

Demain, pause café/beignet 🍩 !! Venez nous voir si vous voulez rencontrer les membres du comité des réseaux sociaux de notre département de chimie ! 🧪 Nous avons hâte de vous voir !

Plantes sous pression : la génomique à la rescousse ! | Coeur des sciences | UQAM Canicules, pluies torrentielles, sécheresses… Ces stress menacent la survie des plantes dont dépend notre alimentation. Avec les changements climatiques qui s’intensifient, peut-on aider certaines cul...

Visite virtuelle du labo de notre Pre @zoejolylopez.bsky.social en direct le 26 mars pour les écoles secondaires 😍 #coeurdessciences magnifique initiative 🙌🏻 coeurdessciences.uqam.ca/espace-scola...

Félicitations à Amélie Allard, étudiante à la maîtrise en biochimie dans le laboratoire de la Pre @zoejolylopez.bsky.social, pour l’obtention d’une bourse 2026 du Fonds pour les femmes en science de la Faculté des sciences de l'UQAM. Bravo à Amélie, et félicitations à toutes les lauréates!🌟

How many plasmids can bacteria carry? A synthetic biology perspective | Open Biology Plasmids are pinnacle tools in synthetic biology and other biotechnological applications. They serve as the simplest approach to introduce recombinant DNA, which is then transcribed into RNA that…

🧬 How many plasmids can a single bacterium carry?

That’s the question Cholpisit Kiattisewee explores in his review on multi-plasmid systems and their impact on #SynBio. And yes, #SEVA is part of the debate 👀

‼️We are hiring!! 📣

Please share widely! This is a similar position (fully funded) to the one I advertised about a year ago, but the project is progressing. Very exciting times to join the group!

Description and instructions below 👇🏻

A big well done to Nauh’a et Antonio of my lab that were in this cohort! Very proud of their work during the summer! Excellent job 😀

And Ecoli is pretty in pink, ain’t it?!? ❤️ Expressing fluo proteins is fun 😎

New toy 🤩 for the #Quaglialab #TECANSpark #PlateReader

Today we celebrated the interns and we said goodbye to Youness with 🍕 🍕😎 @chimieuqam.bsky.social #QuagliaLab #summer #academia #biocat #enzymeeng

Cover of Science, 28 July 1995.

30 years ago scientists from JCVI, then The Institute for Genomic Research (TIGR), mapped the first complete genome sequence of a free-living organism, Haemophilus influenzae Rd.

End of second day of #Biotrans2025. Who’s there this week of my 🦋 crowd? If I haven’t seen you there, yet and you wanna chat, reach out! 😀

On my way to #Biotrans2025 with a quick stop in Paris and then right on the road to Basel. First time I attended this conference I was doing my PhD. Now I represent my own lab 😎! Come say ‘hi’ at poster P215!

See you soon Fran❤️! I hope you talk went well, so sad I could not see it 😞 Fate un buon viaggio di ritorno e a prestissimo!! 😀

So nice to catch up!! 😍 See you soon in Switzerland 🇨🇭!!

Excellent poster section for the Quaglia lab today at #PROTEO 😎! Bravo à mes étudiants.es! 👏🏻

Distantly related bacteria share a rigid proteome allocation strategy with flexible enzyme kinetics

Merci à tous ceux qui ont participé au colloque2025, qui a été un grand succès 🤩 Et un super grand merci à nos étudiants.es qui ont organisé tout l'événement et présenté leurs beaux projets ! À l'année prochaine !

Blog post from yours truly 🙃 Read to know more about the symposium, a recurring event that brings so much to so many! Rdv tomorrow and on Wednesday: don't forget! Coffee and small treats available during the poster section 😀

Last post of the week and last post of the series of nine! Keep following us, as there will be one very last article from yours truly next week just before the symposium! 😀

New blog alert! Do not miss it: only a couple left to read before the day of the symposium! 🤩(colloquechimiebiochimie.uqam.ca)

Last week of blogging for my excellent students! Here is a very interesting article about bacteriophages and their use as an alternative to antibiotics. Just a click away :) 👇

Blog alert! Last of the week, but not last of our series :) Enjoy!

We resuspended a few plasmids 🧬 yesterday 😁 So looking fwd to expressing and testing these putative #plasticdegrading enzymes 😍

Imagine you're a plasmid just chilling in the same host for 200 years and then some scientist comes to extract you and transform you into a random other strain because they need to express GFP or some shit

New blog from my students! And remember to visit the website of our symposium, too! We are looking forward to seeing you there on the 15th and 16th of April, salle CB-R450 pavillon Chimie Biochimie and posters at the Cafétéria of PK pavillon! Come see our work and visit our sponsors!

Next blog in the series talks about ribosomes. Learn something more about these beautiful cellular machines thanks to the piece by Frédérique. And don't forget: the chem/biochem symposium of @chimieuqam.bsky.social is fast approaching!! reach out for further info!
