Guy Poirier, PhD       
CHUQ/Universite Laval, Quebec QC
Guy G Poirier, Ph.D. is professor at Laval University since 1985. At the CHUL Research Center, he is Head of the Health and Environment Research Unit and director of the Eastern Québec Proteomics Center. This Center is equipped with state of the art technology. In the last 15 years, Dr Poirier has developed a unique expertise in proteomics. He is the person in charge of proteomics at Laval University and he is also Associate Researcher at the Burnham Institute in San Diego USA. Dr Poirier has gain international recognition in the field of apoptosis by his contribution to the discovery of caspases, the apoptotic proteases that cleave the poly(ADP-ribose) polymerase (PARP). In 2002, Dr Poirier obtained a Canadian Research Chair in targeted proteomics of poly(ADP-ribosylation)of proteins. The same year, he also got a grant from Genome Prairies of Canada in order to establish a collaboration with the company Sciex. He is also funded by Genome Quebec and Genome Canada.

Devanand Pinto, PhD        
Institute for Marine Biosciences, Halifax NS
Devanand Pinto is a Research Officer with the National Research Council of Canada and leads the proteomics technology development group at the Institute for Marine Biosciences in Halifax, Nova Scotia. Prior to joining the NRC, he held an NSERC Industrial Research Fellowship with MDS-SCIEX, where he develop microfluidic devices for proteomic applications. He was granted a PhD degree in Analytical Chemistry from the University of Alberta under the guidance of Dr. Norman J. Dovichi. His thesis was devoted to the application of laser-induced fluorescence coupled with capillary electrophoresis for trace analysis of proteins.  Dr. Pinto's current research involves the development of various technologies for the study of complex protein samples. These technologies include microfabrication, chemical reagents, mass spectrometric techniques and bioinformatics.
