Jean-Francois Trempe

Dr. Trempe is an Associate Professor in the department of Pharmacology at McGill University. He has been a pioneer in PINK1 / Parkin biology, being the first to elucidate the crystal structure of Parkin (2013) and the discoverer of the mechanism by which PINK1 autophosphorylation drives ubiquitin recognition. Dr. Trempe contributes his considerable expertise in structural biology in general and the PINK1/Parkin pathway in particular to the Company as a member of Mitokinin’s Scientific Advisory Board.

Dr. Trempe obtained his doctoral degree from the University of Oxford in 2007. He pursued postdoctoral training at McGill University and the Montreal Neurological Institute, Canada, and became an assistant professor at McGill University in 2013.
