Lab director |
Professor in Pharmacology and
Therapeutics at McGill: I came to McGill in September
2005 after having spent nine years at the Montréal Heart
Institute (a teaching hospital at the Université de
Montréal). I am originally from southwestern Ontario
(Windsor) and obtained my PhD at the University of
Toronto.
I was awarded the 2020-2025 Canadian Pacific Chair in Biotechnology
to reflect our unique focus on combining biosensor
approaches with iPSC-based disease modelling for
cardiomyopathies. I am actively developing new courses
for medical, undergraduate and graduate teaching. Since
2015, I have been the chair of the Education Committee
for McGill Regenerative Medicine Network. We are
currently working to put together a graduate
concentration in stem cell biology and how it translates
into to therapies for regenerative medicine. This again
parallels a shift in emphasis in my own research, which
“translates” into changes in the material I teach
students. For me, there is little separation now
between research and teaching.
