Professor Rafael Montenegro-Burke receives Connaught Award

One of our newest MoGen faculty members, Dr. Rafael (Rafa) Montenegro-Burke, won a UofT Connaught New Researcher Award, meant to develop the academic careers and research profiles of up-and-coming, recently hired UofT faculty members across numerous disciplines.  He is one of the 53 faculty members and among the seven Temerty Faculty of Medicine scientists who won this competition. Dr. Montenegro-Burke's research specializes in charting the metabolome, the whole collection of the molecules (aka metabolites) produced by metabolic reactions—alongside their pathways and conserved or species-specific signatures—with advanced mass spectrometry and bioinformatic methods.
