Skander holds a Master’s in Bioinformatics from Université de Montréal. During his time in Dr. Alexandre Prat’s lab at the CHUM Research Centre (2020–2025), he worked on transcriptomic analyses of multiple sclerosis and investigated human brain endothelial responses to inflammatory cytokines. In September 2025, he joined Dr. Thebault’s lab, where he applies bioinformatics and machine learning to integrate multi-omics and clinical data to study neuroinflammation and MS. Outside the lab, he enjoys soccer, training, and traveling.

Ana  is a postdoctoral researcher in Dr. Simon Thebault’s lab at the Montreal Neurological Institute at McGill University. She joined the team in October 2025 after completing her Ph.D. in Microbiology and Immunology at the Lady Davis Institute, where she studied mechanisms of HIV latency. Her research interests center on host–pathogen interactions, and she’s currently exploring how Epstein-Barr virus (EBV) may contribute to the development of MS. Her work bridges immunovirology and neuroscience, drawing from her experience in spectral flow cytometry, immunoassays, and cell culture. Outside the lab, she can usually be found watching new series, crocheting, or trying out her latest DIY craft idea.

Muhammad earned his medical degree from the University of Jordan in 2023. His research interests focus on co-morbidities and how they affect the prognostic utility of biomarkers in multiple sclerosis, reflecting a broader commitment to improving the integration of clinical insights and translational neuroscience. Outside his work, he enjoys hiking, target practice, and reading.
