About Me
Professor at the Université de Montréal and Canada 150 Research Chair in Bacterial Cell Biology, Dr. Yves Brun is a world leader in microbiology. His transformative development of cell biology methods has greatly improved the study of many basic processes in bacteria and their evolution such as growth and division,
differentiation, and biofilm formation. His methods to study the synthesis of the bacterial cell wall have revolutionized an area of critical importance for the development of antibiotics. His methods to visualise adhesive pili are transforming the study of biofilm formation, reservoirs of infectious agents that are difficult to eradicate.
