Louise is an undergraduate student majoring in Neurosciences at Université de Montréal.

In 2025, she became a volunteer at SamLab and is set to begin her master's research on the role of THAP12 in mitochondrial function related to health and disease.

“I joined the SamLab because of my interest in bridging genomics and neuroscience, and the chance to work on impactful rare disease research alongside great labmates. ” 

Aside from the lab Louise enjoys playing piano and baking.
