Using bees for inflammatory disease

Dr. Luc Boudreau is young researcher with great potential. His research interests are focused on the role played by cell fragments, and platelet micro-particles, on chronic and acute inflammatory diseases, and in particular rheumatoid arthritis. 

Dr. Boudreau’s work fits nicely into U de M’s biomedical research group bringing a fresh perspective on inflammatory processes. Dr. Boudreau has already demonstrated his ability to convert research into enterprise as the founder of NaturoBee Ltd., which develops anti-inflammatory creams from compounds derived from propolis, a major component of beehive building. 

He is also the co-inventor of a patented technology that is currently being developed into a product for the detection of sterile inflammatory responses.
