Dr. Jean-Philippe Leduc-Gaudet completed his bachelor in Kinesiology and his master’s degree with a particular focus on mitochondrial biology, skeletal pathophysiology and aging at Université du Québec à Montréal. Following his MSc, he completed his PhD  studying the regulatory roles of autophagy & mitophagy in the maintenance of skeletal muscle health under the supervision of Dr. Hussain and Gouspillou (McGill University), where he received a Vanier Canada Graduate Scholarship. In his research, Dr. Leduc-Gaudet combines genetic, molecular, cellular, and physiological approaches to investigate signalling pathways regulating skeletal muscle mass and function. He is currently a postdoctoral fellow in Dr. Sandri’s lab (U Padova, Italy), working on characterizing novel genes and molecular pathways that control skeletal muscle health. He is currently supported by a FRQS postdoctoral fellowship.
