Research Interest
Véronic got her first taste of research as an honours student in biochemistry at the University of Ottawa. She worked with Dr. Mary-Ellen Harper, elucidating the role of uncoupling protein 3 (UCP3) in skeletal muscle. Using UPC3 overexpressing and ablated mice, Véronic`s findings supported a role for UCP3 in fatty acid metabolism.
