In the spirit of ideas worth spreading, TEDx is a program of local, self-organized events that bring people together to share a TED-like experience. At a TEDx event, TEDTalks video and live speakers combine to spark deep discussion and connection in a small group. These local, self-organized events are branded TEDx, where x = independently organized TED event. The TED Conference provides general guidance for the TEDx program, but individual TEDx events are self-organized (subject to certain rules and regulations).

Marie Brunet

Pr. Brunet qualified as a Doctor of Veterinary Medicine (Paris, France) and later completed her PhD in Pharmacology at the University of Cambridge (Cambridge, United Kingdom) under a prestigious Gates Cambridge scholarship. She did her postdoctoral training in Biochemistry and Functional Genomics at the University of Sherbrooke (Sherbrooke, Canada) and, in 2021 she established her own research group at the Medical Genetics Service of the Department of Pediatrics at the University of Sherbrooke. During her postdoctoral studies she co-developed and managed the OpenProt resource, the first proteogenomics resource endorsing a polycistronic annotation of eukaryotic genomes. OpenProt is now co-led by her lab and that of Pr Roucou, her former supervisor. Beyond OpenProt, her research focuses on non-annotated coding sequences in our genomes. She uses both fundamental and computational research methods to better explore biological data and understand human diseases, focusing on pediatric cancers and rare diseases. She was awarded a FRQS Junior 1 career grant recognizing her leadership at the intersection of health sciences and artificial intelligence.
