SUMMARY:Determinants of outer membrane growth studied in cell-wall-deficient bacteria - Dr. Claire-Jing Rouchet
DESCRIPTION:Department of Microbiology\, Infectious Diseases and Immunology \nSpeaker: Dr. Claire-Jing Rouchet \nAs part of our upcoming departmental seminar\, we are pleased to welcome Claire-Jing Rouchet\, Postdoctoral Fellow in the laboratory of Dr. Sven Van Teeffelen. The presentation will be delivered in English.   \nDr. Rouchet obtained her PhD on the effect of membrane fluidity on cell wall shape and elongation in Bacillus subtilis\, in Rut Carballido-Lopez’s lab. She has been a postdoctoral researcher in Sven Van Teeffelen’s lab since June 2025\, where her research focuses on the role of membranes\, and particularly lipids\, in cell shape and elongation.   \nYou will find below the summary of her presentation: \n  \n \n  \n  \nWe look forward to seeing you there. \n

SUMMARY:A bacterial ubiquitination pathway modifies bacteriophages to prevent viral spread throughout the population - David Mayo Muñoz\, Ph.D.
DESCRIPTION:The recent discovery of ubiquitination systems in bacteria is revolutionizing our understanding of antiviral defense mechanisms. Although ubiquitination has long been recognized as a central process in eukaryotes\, its role in prokaryotes remains largely unexplored.  \nDuring this seminar\, David Mayo Muñoz will present his research showing how a non-canonical bacterial ubiquitination pathway protects bacteria against a wide variety of bacteriophages. By covalently modifying the lateral fibers of phages\, this system disrupts virion assembly and prevents their spread within the bacterial population. These findings reveal a novel antiviral mechanism and highlight a defense strategy that has been surprisingly well-conserved throughout evolution.   \nA bacterial ubiquitination pathway modifies bacteriophages to prevent viral spread throughout the population \nUbiquitination is a central regulatory mechanism in eukaryotic cell biology\, governing processes ranging from protein turnover to antiviral defense. In bacteria\, the conjugation of ubiquitin-like proteins is emerging as a core function of diverse anti-phage defenses\, including systems with evolutionary links to the human antiviral ISG15 pathway. Recent research has uncovered a divergent bacterial ubiquitination system with altered conjugation chemistry\, but its biological function has remained unclear. Here\, we show that this non-canonical ubiquitination pathway provides robust defense against a diverse range of bacteriophages. Combining genetic\, bioinformatic\, and biochemical analyses\, we demonstrate that ubiquitin modification of phage lateral tail fibers impairs virion assembly\, thereby preventing viral spread throughout the population. Together\, our findings establish the immune function of a divergent ubiquitination pathway and reveal that covalent remodeling of viral structural proteins is a conserved antiviral strategy employed across diverse ubiquitination systems and domains of life.      \nSpeaker \n🎤 David Mayo Muñoz\, Ph.D.\nPostdoctoral Fellow\, Department of Microbiology\nDepartment of Biology\, University of Copenhagen (Denmark) \n  \n \n  \nInvitation from Dr. Frédérique Le Roux \n

DESCRIPTION:Student Community of the Faculty of Medicine\, University of Montreal\, \nDear members of the SNC research group\, \nIn 2022\, I took on the challenge of organizing a scientific conference for the first time without really knowing what it entailed. What I discovered wasn’t just the logistics of putting on an event.  \nIt’s the power of a space where students from different disciplines come together and exchange ideas. It was that energy that convinced me to keep going and led me to take on the presidency of RéseauLab this year.  \nTime flies. This year will already mark the 8th edition of the RéseauLab Scientific Conference.  \nI am writing to ask for your support one last time: the 2026 edition will be my last as an organizer\, and I would truly love to see you there. \nRéseauLab 2026 Conference \n📅 September 25 and 26\, 2026 \n📍Centre Saint-Pierre\, Montreal \n🏆 Theme: Innovation in Biomedical Research \nOrganized by and for students in the Faculty of Medicine at the University of Montreal (UdeM) and related health faculties and departments\, the conference brings together researchers\, students\, and industry representatives each year to discuss cutting-edge scientific advancements. \nOn the program: \n\nPlenary lecture by Dr. Elie Bou Assi\, a research associate at IVADO and CRCHUM: his work focuses on the application of artificial intelligence to biomedical engineering\, neurological disorders\, and psychiatric disorders.\nTwo workshops: scientific entrepreneurship and a panel discussion on innovation in research\nOral\, lightning\, and poster presentations\, with plenty of prizes to be won 🥇\nConnection Night (Friday night)\nSocial activities\, 2 dinners\, 1 supper\, snacks\, and drinks included\n\n  \nRegistration is now open: early bird rate available through June 30\, 2026 \nMembers of the SNC research group are eligible for an exclusive $10 discount\, which can be combined with the early-bird price: \nCode: RSL5593 \n👉 Sign up: reseaulab.solvabl.com \nWe look forward to seeing you there\, \nAlex \n  \nAlex Tchung \nPresident\, RéseauLab \nwww.reseaulab.com \n \n
