Biographie/Biography
Dr. Jean-Philippe Gratton earned his Ph.D. in Pharmacology from the University of Sherbrooke, followed by a postdoctoral fellowship at Yale University School of Medicine with Dr. William Sessa. In 2002, he joined the Université de Montréal and the Institut de recherches cliniques de Montréal (IRCM) where he held a Tier 2 Canada Research Chair in endothelial cell biology and angiogenesis, during which he and his team advanced the understanding of pathophysiological mechanisms driving blood vessel formation. In 2013, Dr. Gratton became a full professor and director of the Department of Pharmacology, and since 2017, he has been leading the Department of Pharmacology and Physiology at the Faculty of Medicine of Université de Montréal.
Dr. Gratton’s research program focuses on identifying factors that control endothelial cell proliferation, differentiation,migration, and survival. Specifically, his laboratory investigates the intracellular signaling pathways leading to nitricoxide (NO) production by VEGF and the regulation of endothelial cell-cell junctions that modulate vascularpermeability and angiogenic sprouting during neovessel formation.
