Biography
I hold a Bachelor’s degree in Pharmacology from the Université de Sherbrooke, where I gained research experience through several internships in the field of pain neuropharmacology. My research has focused on the apelinergic system and the APJ receptor, exploring the structure-activity relationships of apelin-related compounds, as well as visualizing delta-opioid receptor binding sites in the spinal cord of a mouse model. These experiences allowed me to develop skills in preclinical experimentation and research methodology.
I am currently pursuing a research-based Master’s degree in Health Sciences at the Université de Sherbrooke. My research project focuses on the management of chronic pain in veterans living with post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD). This pilot study aims to evaluate the effects of virtual reality combined with non-invasive cranial nerve neuromodulation on pain and selected physiological responses. This work reflects my interest in developing new therapeutic approaches to improve the quality of life of individuals living with chronic pain.
