La Fondation souhaite souligner les efforts remarq La Fondation souhaite souligner les efforts remarquables des stagiaires du laboratoire de perfusion ex-vivo du CRCHUM dirigé par Dr Pasquale Ferraro et Dr Ahmed Menaouar 👏🏻

Nous félicitons Andrea Oliveira-Carneiro, récipiendaire du Prix de la meilleure présentation par affiche lors du 59e Congrès des stagiaires du Programme PREMIER de l’Université de Montréal, tenu le 30 janvier 2026. Son projet était intitulé : « Expérience du CHUM en perfusion pulmonaire ex-vivo (EVLP) - Évaluation des résultats de la transplantation ».

Nous soulignons également l’excellent travail de Lauren Kamel, sélectionnée parmi les 8 étudiants ayant produit le meilleur rapport du programme PREMIER 2025 avec son project : « Transplantabilité des poumons évalués par perfusion ex-vivo dans un modèle porcin DDC suivi de la réanimation cardiaque par perfusion normothermique régionale thoraco-abdominale ».

Un grand merci également à Louka Vamvakas, activement engagé dans plusieurs projets dont le développement d’un algorithme visant à prédire la transplantabilité des poumons post-EVLP. Son implication soutenue contribue grandement à l’avancement des travaux de recherche!

La Fondation est fière de pouvoir offrir un soutien essentiel et d’appuyer la relève scientifique grâce aux bourses étudiants 🎓✨
