Mr. Couture is conducting research on a new biomarker called PACE4, which could make it possible to determine the aggressiveness of a patient’s prostate cancer. He is working under Robert Day, Université de Sherbrooke professor and researcher at the CHUS’ Centre de recherche clinique Étienne-Le Bel (CRCELB – Clinical Research Centre).

The Edward Nash Graduate Studentship Award presented to Frédéric Couture will further the understanding of this important biomarker. Mr. Couture’s work has the potential to result in treatments that are more tailored to each patient’s reality.
