Biography, Career summary, research topics and interests
Guy A. Rouleau, MD, PhD, FRCP(C) is the Director of the CHU Sainte-Justine Research Center and a Full Professor at the Department of Medicine of the Université de Montréal. He also directs a pan-university institute, the "Centre d’étude des maladies du cerveau", at the Research Center of the CHUM – Hôpital Notre-Dame. For the last 20 years, his work has focused on understanding the genetic basis of brain diseases. He has, among other things, mapped more than 20 loci and made a major contribution toward the identification of more than 10 genes responsible for diseases as well as a better understanding of their pathogenesis.
Dr. Rouleau’s work deals with various neurological and psychiatric illnesses with a genetic component, including amyotrophic lateral sclerosis, cerebrovascular accidents, familial aneurysms, cavernous hemangiomas, epilepsy, spinocerebellar ataxia, spastic paraplegia, autism, Tourette’s syndrome, restless legs syndrome, schizophrenia and bipolar disorders. His laboratory’s research work also revolves around the understanding of the pathogenesis of amyotrophic lateral sclerosis, oculopharyngeal muscular dystrophy and CAG triplet repeat disorders, using cell and animal models.
Dr. Rouleau has trained a large number of scientists and physicians whom now hold various academic positions at universities.
