Tremblay is a Jeanne and J.-Louis Lévesque Chair in Cancer Research and James McGill Professor in McGill University, Montreal, Quebec, Canada. Dr. Tremblay is a world leader in the field of protein tyrosine phosphatases (PTPases) and has made tremendous contributions to our understanding of the role of protein tyrosine phosphatases in signaling transduction and tumor development. Protein tyrosine phosphatases are implicated in a variety of cellular processes such as cell proliferation, apoptosis and differentiation.  Dr. Tremblay’s laboratory employs a variety of tools in the analysis of these PTPases. These include: cloning and identification of tissue specific and developmentally regulated PTPases; identification of in vivo substrates, associated proteins, and extracellular ligands; creation of temperature sensitive enzymes and cell lines; and the analysis of the gene expression pattern during mouse development. Together with transgenic and "knockout" mouse technology, these tools allow us to asses the role of these genes during mouse development as well as cellular events involved in cancer.
