Intérêts de recherche

Comment les contaminants environnementaux ou les composés naturels peuvent-ils perturber la régulation des enzymes impliquées dans la stéroïdogenèse?

Les recherches du Pr Sanderson se concentrent sur des enzymes impliquées dans la synthèse des œstrogènes et des androgènes, ainsi que le développement des bio-essais cellulaires en co-culture ou en 3-D, comme des modèles plus pertinents pour les études toxicologiques des perturbations endocriniennes. La surexpression de certaines enzymes stéroïogènes est associée à un plus grand risque de certaines pathologies comme des cancers. Le but est d’élucider les voies de signalisation cellulaire impliquées dans la perturbation de la régulation de ces enzymes. Un thème clé du laboratoire est le développement de modèles de co-cultures cellulaires qui réfléchissent la communication physiologique dans l’organisme, plus pertinents comme outils de criblage et des études mécanistiques sur les contaminants, pesticides et médicaments auxquels nous sommes exposés.

Fonctions et biographie

Le porfesseur J. Thomas Sanderson a complété un baccalauréat (B. Sc., 1989) en chimie du Vrije Universiteit, à Amsterdam, Pays-Bas, et ensuite un doctorat (Ph. D., 1994) en pharmacologie et toxicologie de l’Université de Colombie-Britannique à Vancouver, Canada.

Après un stage postdoctoral au Michigan State University (National Food Safety and Toxicology Centre (1994-1997), il a obtenu un poste de professeur adjoint à l’Université d’Utrecht, Pays-Bas (Institute for Risk Assessment Sciences, 1997-2005) où il a reçu sa permanence en 2003.

Depuis 2005, Thomas Sanderson détient un poste de professeur agrégé au Centre Armand-Frappier Santé Biotechnologie de l’INRS. Sa recherche est concentrée sur l’interaction entre les produits chimiques et les enzymes de la biosynthèse des stéroïdes, liée au développement des cancers hormone-dépendants et aux perturbations du système endocrinien. Ses travaux de recherche sont actuellement financés par le Conseil de recherches en sciences naturelles et en génie du Canada (CRSNG) et se concentrent sur les mécanismes par lesquels les produits chimiques perturbent la synthèse d’androgènes et d’eostrogènes chez les humains et dans les modèles animaux.
