Faculty and Staff Directory

Associate Teaching Professor, 

Associate Professor, 

Production of valuable pharmaceutical compounds from plant cell cultures, specifically the production of important anti-cancer drug molecules from cell cultures of Catharanthus roseus

Research Technician, 

Affiliated Faculty, 

virtual reality; video games; motor learning; rehabilitation; physical therapy; cerebral palsy; stroke; knowledge translation

Associate Professor, 

Systems and synthetic biology of the Brain-Immune-Gut super-system; Interactions among hosts and microbes; Deep learning approaches to interpreting biological data and designing biomedical solutions

University Distinguished Professor, 

Physical modeling of cancer progression, metastasis and interaction with the immune system. Most recent interests include the role of metabolic plasticity in these processes and the co-evolution of the tumor and the adaptive immune system. Other areas include spatial organization of the actin cytoskeleton, the mechanics of collective cell motility, and the analysis of genetic circuits involved in cell fate decisions.
