Congratulations to Jullien Flynn, PhD, Assistant Professor in the Department of Biology at Université Laval and member of the CRDSI, who has been named a recipient of the prestigious Banting Discovery Award.

Her research focuses on the mechanisms by which some cells make mistakes when duplicating and transmitting their DNA during cell division. These errors, which occur frequently, can be the cause of miscarriage in nearly half of all pregnancies.

This summer, the Banting Discovery Foundation announced its 100th cohort of Discovery Award recipients. Established in 1925, this award confers prestige and credibility, helping researchers secure additional funding at the early stage of their academic careers and opening the door to new scientific opportunities.

Once again, our warmest congratulations to Professor Flynn for this distinction, which highlights the quality and significance of her research contributions.
