Faculty Directory
Our Faculty has grown to over 100 exceptional researchers focused in a variety of research specialties
Our group generates and analyzes multi-omics data to improve our current knowledge of cancer's etiology, discover new biomarkers and facilitate personalized cancer treatments
Research interests include genetic network mapping in yeast and human cells, using systems biology approaches that include single cell image analysis.
The lab studies molecular alterations in cancer and the clinical importance of these changes with a focus on the tumour immune microenvironment.
Our research investigates the underlying genetic and environmental determinants of human disease, with a focus on aging, cancer, chronic diseases, and infectious agents
The ‘Laboratory for RNA-Based Lifeforms’ is focused on deciphering how genetic information encodes itself into RNA genes and viruses.
We develop computational methods and an ecosystem theory of tissue function to help understand development, cancer and regenerative wound healing.
We study the regulation, function and evolution of RNA networks with critical roles in development and disease.
Developing and applying functional genomics approaches for mapping genetic, chemical-genetic, and protein-protein interactions using a yeast model system
Using the fruit fly to study the development and function of the nervous system and establish models of human disease.
My lab investigates the roles of PIPs using molecular genetics in the fruit fly and the roles of long noncoding RNAs in sperm development.
Structure-function relationship of human enteric adenovirus interactions with host cells. Antiviral host response. Antiviral effect of digoxin.
Our research examines the interactions of pathogenic bacteria with cells of their host.
The Campbell Lab is a group of data scientists working at the interface of statistics, machine learning, and translational biomedicine.
The Campos Lab is interested in epigenetics & chromatin biology. Focus is placed on histones, and how their functions go awry in certain diseases.
As the Director of the MHSc in Medical Genomics program, my focus is on delivering an innovative professional program training students for careers in this exciting field.
We utilize zebrafish precision models of disease to discover novel genetic causes, pathogenic mechanisms and therapies; a current focus is scoliosis.
We study how small RNA pathways related to microRNAs and RNA interference regulate gene expression during animal development.
My research focuses on manipulating cellular processes essential for replication of multiple viruses as an alternative approach to novel therapeutics.
Our research aims to develop treatments for rare inherited diseases using novel gene editing and gene modulation technologies.
We are interested in RNA and mitochondria, especially a naturally-occurring Neurospora mitochondrial plasmid that encodes a catalytic RNA called the VS ribozyme.
We study mechanisms underlying neuronal development and function in behavioral and mood disorders using genetic, molecular, and cellular strategies.
The Costain Lab is focused on discovering and characterizing new genetic diseases that impact children.
Research in the Cowen lab focuses on the biology and evolution of fungal pathogens
My laboratory is focusing on the mechanisms underlying the ability of various stress factors to rescue cell migration defects in C. elegans mutants
Research in the Davidson Lab is aimed at phages, systems used by bacteria to resist phage attacks and how phages overcome these systems
We investigate the epigenetic mechanisms controlling development of the cardiovascular system, and how they are disrupted to cause disease.
We study the role of nutrient transporters, in signalling and metabolic homeostasis.
Mechanisms of cell fate specification, epigenetic inheritance, paediatric diseases models such as cerebral cavernous malformation and neuroblastoma.
We use zebrafish and human stem cell models to study genetic liver disorders and novel mendelian diseases.
Dick’s research focuses on hematopoietic and leukemic stem cells, providing insights into human blood development and leukemogenic origins.
Our lab is interested in applying stem cell biology to the study of brain cancer.
Our lab seeks to understand the pathogenic mechanisms of and develop therapies for childhood muscle diseases.
We study how cells maintain the integrity genome and how this process is dysregulated in cancer, aging and genetic disorders.
