He finds joy in life’s simple pleasures, from crafting wholesome meals to traveling in an RV, where he and his family embrace adventure and freedom at every turn.

Education

Steve earned his Doctorate and Master's degrees in Physiology-Endocrinology from Laval University in Quebec City. His research focused on the regulation of T lymphocyte functions and their role in the immune system. Following his academic journey, Steve served as a Postdoctoral Fellow at Montreal University, where he was responsible for two biomedical research projects in the field of central nervous system immunity.

Publications

Steve has an extensive list of academic publications, including but not limited to (full publication list):

• "Integrin alpha2beta1 inhibits Fas-mediated apoptosis in T lymphocytes by protein phosphatase 2A-dependent activation of the MAPK/ERK pathway."
• "Alpha2beta1 integrin is the major collagen-binding integrin expressed on human Th17 cells."
• "Collagen type I signaling reduces the expression and the function of human receptor activator of nuclear factor-kappa B ligand (RANKL) in T lymphocytes."
• "Alpha1beta1 integrin and interleukin-7 receptor up-regulate the expression of RANKL in human T cells and enhance their osteoclastogenic function.

His work has significantly contributed to the scientific community, particularly in the fields of endocrinology and immunology.
