Senior researcher in the Department of Human Genetics at McGill University in Montreal. Interested in mitochondrial biology.
Our story about FASTKD5 is now published at @NAR_Open. It was an amazing collaboration with @hauke_hillen and @Antonio41949078 labs. doi.org/10.1093/nar/gk… FASTKD5 processes mitochondrial pre-mRNAs at non-canonical cleavage sites

A great collaboration between clinical and research teams to describe mutations in FASTKD5 in patients with Leigh syndrome. Thank you all!
📣New from @HAntonicka et al! 📄Bi-allelic mutations in FASTKD5 are associated with cytochrome c oxidase deficiency and early- to late-onset Leigh syndrome cell.com/ajhg/abstract/…
Taking part of #RNAcanadaARN conference in Ottawa representing #mitochondria RNA
Keynote Speaker Phil Sharp opens up the scientific program at #RNAcanadaARN "I've never seen so many RNA biologists in one room, and that's a great thing!"
Happy to see our latest paper out today in @NAR_Open. A beautiful collaboration with @AnnikaKrger, Joanna Rorbach @MolMet_KI, @HAntonicka and Eric Shoubridge. @Antonio41949078 @AhnAhram bit.ly/3WyuPiE
Check out our latest pre-print with @hauke_hillen and @VuckoviccAna, where we show that FASTKD5 joins RNase P and RNase Z in processing mitochondrial RNA. FASTKD5 processes mitochondrial pre-mRNAs at non-canonical cleavage sites biorxiv.org/content/10.110…
Montreal MitoClub MAY 7 at IRCM, 3-5PM! Join us for some exciting new work from the Estall and Topisirovic labs plus a guest speaker Anant Parekh from Oxford. See poster for details. Join us!
Total solar eclipse in Montreal. An amazing experience. Venus was very bright then. #solareclipse

Check out this new pre-print from the Shoubridge lab! Congrats Jana and all!
Check out the Shoubridge lab's latest story on SLC25A46 and its involvement with lysosomes and cholesterol trafficking in our preprint: biorxiv.org/content/10.110… @HAntonicka @alexostomate @TheNeuro_MNI @mcgillu special thanks to @kwattever from @karolinskainst #Mito #mitochondria
Joins us for the next #RNA salon meeting next Monday March 18th. Talks by @thomas_duchaine, Marc Fabian & Predrag Jovanovic. @McGillRNA @BiochimieUdeM @IRIC_umontreal @McGillGCI @RNACanadaC2R2 @ircm_mtl sponsored by @RNASociety @lexogen. Details: mtlrna.org
If you're in Montreal, join us for our 3rd Montreal Mitochondrial Club meeting next week at CRCHUM on Tuesday 16 January, 3-4.30pm. We have three exciting talks by early-career scientists who will discuss mitochondrial transport, stress, and dynamics.

It was a pleasure to collaborate with Toni (@Antonio41949078) and Hui on the role of iron–sulfur cluster assembly in mitochondrial ribosomes and multiple mitochondrial dysfunctions syndrome caused by BOLA3 or NFU1. Thanks also to @alexostomate @Mito_Crue academic.oup.com/nar/article/do…
Congratulations Jana @JanaSchuettpelz for getting your PhD. #mitochondria

Come and join us for the 2nd Montreal #mitochondria Club on Thursday September 14 at @Neuro @mitodynamics @kazaklab @ChatelChaixLab
