Over the past twenty years, Dr. Rouleau’s projects have mainly focused on gaining understanding of brain and nervous system diseases. During this period he has identified over a dozen disease-causing genes, uncovered new mechanisms causing genetic diseases, and worked on a better understanding of the molecular mechanisms that lead to disease symptoms. His work focuses on a number of neurological and psychiatric diseases including amyotrophic lateral sclerosis, familial aneurysms, cavernous angiomas, epilepsy, spinocerebellar ataxias, spastic paraplegia, autism, Tourette Syndrome, Restless Legs Syndrome, and schizophrenia.
Dr. Rouleau trained a large number of scientists and physicians who, today, work at universities across Canada, the United States, Japan, Brazil, Australia, and Europe. He has published more than 350 scientific papers, many of which in prestigious journals such as Nature, Nature Genetics and The American Journal of Human Genetics. Dr. Rouleau received numerous awards for his contributions to science and society. In 2007, he was nominated Officer of the Ordre National du Québec, the highest distinction given by the Quebec government.
