Greetings! I am Alexandre Thibodeau. I am a PhD in Veterinary Science from the Université de Montréal, specializing in food safety. I am studying the factors affecting animal colonization by foodborne pathogens such as Campylobacter and Salmonella. I am also investigating their interaction with the animal's intestinal microbiota and on how to control them at the farm. I am working both in vitro and in vivo, at the farm and in animal processing plants. In the lab, I focus mainly on molecular biology techniques such as MiSeq 16S rRNA gene amplicon sequencing, WGS, QPCR, and microarray. I am also a bacteriologist. If you are interested in getting more details about our lab expertise, please follow us here: http://www.medvet.umontreal.ca/crsv/index.php?lang=en. We are always looking for new collaborators! For a complete list of my current publications, please refer to my Research Gate profile. Alexandre Thibodeau, 2018
