The largest French-language research university in the Americas, pairing Mila's AI leadership with world-class biomedical and fundamental science.
A CRCHUM team led by Andrés Finzi found that most health workers in a small Canadian study had antibodies recognising several avian influenza viruses even before their seasonal flu vaccination.
By measuring nearly one million protein-protein interactions across 350 yeast strains, UdeM biochemists have shown how mutations, including in so-called junk DNA, reshape the cell's inner workings.
Drawing on a Quebec adolescent cohort and around 20,000 adults in a British biobank, UdeM researchers link prenatal nicotine exposure to a smaller primary visual cortex.
A veterinary medicine team led by Marie-Lou Gaucher found nearly half of ammonia samples in broiler breeder barns exceeded exposure limits, offering a first benchmark for workers and birds.
Comparing 11,000 years of sediment records with the past 150, a UdeM team shows the carbon-storage function of North American lakes has left its natural range since industrialisation.
Observations of galaxy NGC 4696 led by UdeM astrophysicist Julie Hlavacek-Larrondo capture gas flowing along a vast filament into a spinning disk that fuels the black hole at its heart.
Work in mice led by Marie Kmita at the IRCM shows two Polycomb protein complexes must silence early limb genes at just the right moment for normal development to proceed.
Rehabilitation researchers at UdeM traced the life trajectories of 26 people with brain injuries who experienced homelessness, finding injuries usually came first and were repeatedly missed by services.
Alain Moreau's team at UdeM and CHU Sainte-Justine has identified a circulating protein that tracks symptom severity in myalgic encephalomyelitis, and is planning clinical trials of repurposed drugs.
Using carbon-13 tracing, UdeM biologist Matthew Regan shows ground squirrels reroute urea to their gut, where microbes convert its carbon into acetate the animals use to survive winter.
A team led by André Veillette reports in Nature that the molecule SLAMF6 suppresses T cell attacks on tumours, and that blocking it with antibodies produces strong anti-tumour responses in mice.
Chemists Hélène Lebel and Dominic Rochefort ran a flow battery on their organic molecule AzoBiPy for 70 days and 192 cycles, retaining nearly 99 per cent of its capacity.
Comparing large language models with more than 100,000 people, a team led by Karim Jerbi with Yoshua Bengio finds top AI beats the average human but falls short of the most creative.
Magnetoencephalography recordings of 12 highly experienced Buddhist monks show meditation shifts neural oscillations and brain complexity, nudging the brain towards its optimal operating point.
A Montreal case-control analysis of 1,248 postmenopausal women links occupational exposure to cotton and chemically treated textiles, especially early in life, to higher breast cancer risk.
UdeM public health and sleep researchers join a five-year, $5.45-million Wellcome Trust project tracking how heat affects the mental health of urban youth in Montreal, Mexico and Argentina.
Sediment cores spanning 3,300 years from Laguna Itzan in Guatemala show a Maya city that was abandoned without local drought, pointing to cascading social and political crises.
By unifying 176 experiments on Arabidopsis, UdeM biophysicist Anne-Lise Routier-Kierzkowska and PhD student Viraj Alimchandani built the first multiscale atlas linking cell dynamics to organ development.
