Lucas Beaupre

Lucas is a first-year Ph.D. student from North Vancouver, British Columbia. He completed his B.Sc. in Biology from Mount Allison University, and completed his M.Sc. with Dr. Gurd in the QMPL. His work investigates skeletal muscle regulation, and the role non-coding RNAs play in skeletal muscle adaptation to exercise. He is also interested in sport performance, and the physiological differences between elite athletes and recreationally active individuals. During his Ph.D. he is also interested in investigating how non-coding RNAs play a role in skeletal muscle regulation in disuse settings. Outside of the lab Lucas can be found running, biking or working with the Belleville Senators.
