Nolan Maugourd

I am a PhD candidate in the Chemical Engineering doctoral programme at Université Laval, in collaboration with the National Research Council of Canada (NRC) and the Viral Vector Team.

My qualifications include a Bachelor's degree in Life Sciences and a dual Engineer/Master's degree in Bioproduction for Health, which have given me a solid foundation of knowledge in bioprocesses, viral vector production and the manufacturing of therapeutic antibodies and recombinant proteins.

I have also had the opportunity to work on diverse research topics, such as the optimisation and clinical-grade technology transfer of a cell therapy production process, the characterisation of cellular stress biomarkers using omics approaches, and the study of the impact of a mutation on a metabolic disease.

I am passionate about biology and scientific communication and particularly interested in advanced therapy medicinal products (ATMPs) and healthcare accessibility.
