CSM2025 Montreal Conference Poster
Please help us spread the word by ciruclating the CSM2025 Montreal Conference to your colleagues who might be interested in the conference. Thank you for your support.
Welcome to Université de Montréal
The 74th Annual Conference of the Canadian Society of Microbiologists (CSM 2025) will be held from Tuesday, June 17 till Friday June 20 at Université de Montréal, the largest francophone university of Canada. Université de Montréal is located in Montreal, the metropolis of “La belle province” of Quebec. The Local Organizing Committee of CSM 2025 is honored to host such successful event that will showcase the excellence of the Canadian microbiology community. Our theme for this year’s meeting is “Microbiology for society”; to emphasize how Microbiology has and continue to shape the humanity since millenaries in the different field of life. The Université de Montréal recognizes that it is located on unceded Indigenous territory and wishes to acknowledge those who have been its traditional guardians for time immemorial. It expresses its respect for the contribution of Indigenous peoples to the culture of societies here and around the world.
The keynote opening lecture will be given by Dr Simonetta Gribaldo (Pasteur Institute-Paris), a world-class specialist on evolutionary biology of microbial cells. Every session will open with an invited lecture given by an established or a junior investigator. Additional presenters, including post-doctoral fellows and graduate students, will be selected among the submitted abstracts. Our program includes twelve symposia that covers the three sections of the Canadian Society of Microbiologists: Applied & Environmental Microbiology, Infection and Immunity and Molecular Genetics and Cellular Microbiology.
Not only will we have an exceptional scientific program but we will also make sure that your experience in Montréal is worthwhile! Montreal is a unique North American city with a rich and diversified cultural heritage. The largest city of the province of Quebec offers also a unique experience during summer featuring a vibrant array of festive programming.
We look forward to hosting you at Université de Montréal for CSM 2025!
Sincerely,
CSM 2025 Conference Chair Dr. Adnane Sellam, and LOC members; Drs Marylise Duperthuy, and Frédérique Le Roux

Dr. Adnane Sellam, Conference Chair
Université de Montréal, Department of Microbiology-Infectious Disease and Immunology
Dr. Adnane Sellam is professor in the Department of Microbiology-Infectiology and Immunology, and a researcher at the Montreal Heart Institute. He joined the University of Montreal after a career at Université Laval in Quebec City as an associate professor and researcher at the CHU de Québec. He completed two postdoctoral internships at the University of Montreal and at McGill University/National Research Council Canada. Dr Sellam is an expert in the field of genomics and systems biology applied to the study of the virulence of human pathogenic fungi. His research activities are funded by several provincial (FRQS, CQDM, Merck-Frost) and federal (CIHR, NSERC, CFI) granting organizations. The aim of his research program is to understand in depth the different aspects of the biology of opportunistic fungi, notably Candida albicans and the “super-resistant” yeast C. auris, in order to propose new therapeutic targets.
Dr Frédérique Le Roux
Université de Montréal, Faculté de médecine, Département de microbiologie, infectiologie et immunologie
My favorite scientific question is “how is parasitism a sustainable biological relationship?” I addressed this question through the study of various microbes, the human Epstein Barr virus (doctoral thesis at the École Normale Supérieure de Lyon and post doctorate at the Institut Gustave Roussy), protozoa parasites of bivalve molluscs (post doctorate at Ifremer), bacteria of the Vibrio genus pathogenic in oysters, shrimp or corals (Ifremer, Institut Pasteur in Paris, Harvard Medical School in Boston; Roscoff Biological Station) and more recently viruses which infect Vibrios, the bacteriophages.
Holder of the Canada Research Chair of Excellence “Eco-Evo-Patho of microbes in nature”, Full Professor at the University of Montreal since September 2023 and IVADO member, I aspire to create a team of enthusiasts, followers of “non-model” organizations, a diverse, equitable, inclusive and committed team to eco-responsible approaches.
