Rodrigue Lab

A legend is gone. Discovered Type II restriction enzymes (70s), sequenced the first bacterial genome (90s) and synthesised the first bacterial genome (00s).

🎉 Thrilled to share our review article on the world of Mesoplasma florum, shedding light on this near-minimal bacterium🧬

Research grants like the NSERC Discovery Grant, have stagnated in the past 5 years, despite 17% inflation in the economy! 😱 Increased pay for grad students and postdocs can only be achieved by increasing the value of research grants, along with scholarships and fellowships.

Challenges facing graduate students and early career researchers are real. My partner finished his doctorate sleeping on his supervisor’s floor because he could not afford rent. I used my own personal funds to pay for my 1918 flu expedition. Time to invest in research.
