Biography

I received my PhD from the University of Western Ontario in Microbiology and Immunology working on viral infection. I then completed a Postdoctoral Fellowship at UCSD in Cellular and Molecular Medicine working on transcription control of gene expression. After this, I was an assistant professor in Medicine at McGill University where my lab worked on defective transcription control in aging related diseases.

Research

Additional Info

Our lab is built on the premise that the genome is a readable language and understanding the genetic language allows us to predict disease and find drivers of disease progression. The lab brings together several disciplines in order to understand these phenomena and uses large throughput sequencing technologies (single cell and bulk RNA sequencing, ATAC sequencing, ChIP sequencing, mass spectrometry) in combination with bioinformatic analyses and machine learning models.
