Dominic Devost
PhD-Research Associate |
I recently joined Terry’s
lab as a research associate. I’m primarily involved in
developing BRET-based biosensors that will serve as tools to
study the complexity of GPCR signalling. I have a background
in Biochemistry (B.Sc at Université de Montréal, 1989) and
did my graduate studies in Biomedical Sciences (Université
de Montréal) first, as an MSc student with Dr. Pangala Bhat,
PhD and Dr. André Lacroix, MD, PhD (IRCM, 1992) where I
studied vitamin A metabolism and then as a PhD student in
the lab of Dr. Jean-Marie Boutin, MD, PhD (Hôtel-Dieu de
Montréal, 2000) where I spent some time studying the complex
regulation of the prolactin gene and its receptor signalling
pathways. Finally, after earning my doctoral degree, I
joined the lab of Dr. Hans Zingg, MD, PhD, chairman of the
Department of Pharmacology and Therapeutics at McGill
University, studying oxytocin receptor signalling pathways
in myometrial cells.
