Faculty Directory
Our Faculty has grown to over 100 exceptional researchers focused in a variety of research specialties
I am interested in studying the human proteins that have the fewest publications, because that is where I believe the most new biology can be found.
We use mouse models of human breast cancers to define mechanisms behind metastatic dissemination and develop new combination therapeutic strategies.
We aim to discover basic mechanisms that control gene expression and epigenetic reprogramming and apply this knowledge through induced pluripotent stem cells
Researchers in the Ensminger lab study an unusual class of bacterial effectors ("metaeffectors"), CRISPR-Cas, phage, and toxin-antitoxin systems.
Our research is directed at understanding transmembrane signalling by G protein-coupled receptors.
My lab identifies and studies novel functions of Epstein-Barr virus proteins in manipulating cellular processes to promote cell survival and infection.
The Fraser Lab uses systematic approaches in C. elegans to probe basic problems in genetics
*Professor Emerita* interested in bacterial plasmid segregation/partition
Our group studies cell identity by integrating diverse functional genomics data, particularly focusing on gene co-expression.
We are a signal transduction, systems biology and proteomics lab focusing on signalling pathways and cellular organization
The Gray-Owen research group aims to understand how human bacterial and viral pathogens colonize host tissues and evade the host immune response
RNA interactions and regulatory roles of human C2H2 zinc finger proteins; human proteins that become essential after viral infection as drug targets
Our research focuses on using precision zebrafish models of human cancer to understand mechanisms related to tumor growth, relapse, and metastasis
Our lab is most interested in how embryonic structures are shaped during development. We focus on the early limb bud and branchial arch as models of growing 3D structures.
We do curiosity-driven research to discover brain tumor vulnerabilities at the interface of cancer biology, neuroscience, and mechanobiology.
We employ technologies to identify, study and map properties and relationships among individual functional units in the genome.
My research focuses on the roles of Iroquois homeobox genes and Hedgehog signalling in development and disease.
We use integrated genetic and imaging approaches to understand how mitochondria influence development, differentiation and inheritance.
Dr. Ivakine's lab uses gene editing to understand and treat rare inherited disorders, study the impacts of gene variants, and develop human-like animal disease models.
Studying cancer at the single-cell level, analyzing tumour cells and their microenvironments using cutting-edge imaging techniques
Research in the Kafri lab is aimed at single-cell measurements and various analytic approaches to investigate animal cell size
The Kalish Lab seeks to understand how pregnancy and early life experience shape neurodevelopment and plasticity.
How stem cells build and maintain the brain and discovering drugs and growth factors that mobilize these cells to repair the injured brain and skin.
Research in the Kay laboratory spans a range of disciplines from spectroscopy and biophysics through to biochemistry.
We use modern computational and experimental approaches to solve important problems in biomedical science such as designing protein and peptide-based therapeutics
Our lab investigates the gut stem microenvironment in development, stem cell homeostasis and disease such as inflammation and cancer.
Our lab is using live animal (Drosophila and zebrafish) and genome-scale approaches to understand biological processes.
My fundamental research interest is in the molecular mechanisms of genetic inheritance and cell division.
The Lefebvre lab’s studies neural circuit formation in the brain and retina, in the context of normal development and neurodevelopmental disorders.
We study human brain development and diseases using stem cells derived neural cells and organoids.
Role of RNA-binding proteins in post-transcriptional regulation of gene expression in development and disease.
Mechanism and function of non-coding small RNA in Mycobacterium tuberculosis; Immune mechanisms of protection against MTB and vaccine development.
