Éloi Gagnon

After completing his undergraduate studies in biomedical sciences (2016-2019) and his master's degree in psychology at Université Laval (2019-2020), Éloi began his doctoral studies in Benoît Arsenault's laboratory in 2021. Éloi is involved in several projects related to cardiometabolic diseases. These include the link between gut microbiota and chronic disease, the link between fat distribution and non-alcoholic fatty liver disease, and the link between brain proteins and obesity. All his projects have one thing in common: the use of Mendelian randomisation. In his day to day life, Eloi uses genetics to answer causal questions, plays basketball and loves hanging out around a beer.
