Dr. Archibald studies genome evolution, endosymbiosis, and molecular phylogeny as part of the Centre for Comparative Genomics and Evolutionary Bioinformatics.

Our department head, Dr. Bearne, works on enzymes and enzyme kinetics.

Dr. Blouin studies protein evolution and folding, often using computer models.

Paul organizes all the undergrad labs- if you don't know him yet, you will get to know him over the next few semesters as he teaches you everything you need to know about lab!

Dr. Byers has been here at Dalhousie for many years and studies lipid metabolism, membrane function, and signal transduction.

Dr. Cohen's research interests include development and application of mass spectrometry techniques in proteomics and metabolomics.

Dr. Dobson studies yeast and mammalian molecular genetics, and you may go to see her if you want to register in the practicum course in third year!

Dr. Doolittle has had a long and prolific career here at Dalhousie, contributing many important advances in his field. He also has a tree dedicated to him and Dr. Michael Gray, a colleague in the department, in the Tupper quad!

Dr. Ewart is passionate about her work with antifreeze proteins for cold adaptation, and looks at proteostasis and amyloid formation.

Dr. Karten looks at cholesterol metabolism in the brain, cholesterol trafficking, and mitochondrial cholesterol.

Dr. Kienesberger works in Saint John at DMNB. She studies bioactive lipid signaling and cellular and organismal energy metabolism.

Dr. Kramer studies epigenetics and chromatin in brain function. 

Dr. Langelaan is interested in structural biology, protein assembly, and protein engineering.

Dr. Liu studies inteins, as well as working with Dr. Rainey's lab in studying spider silks.

Heidi works with Paul to organize the undergraduate labs. You will get to know her very well, too!

Dr. Marignani studies tumour suppressors in disease and cell metabolism and cytoskeletal reorganization. 

Dr. McLeod studies the structure and function of apolipoprotein B, adiponectin, and fatty acids.

Dr. McMaster studies genetics and chemical genetics to identify drug targets and drugs for unmet medical needs. He is cross-listed in the department of Pharmacology.

Dr. Pulinilkunnil's lab is in Saint John. He studies nutrient regulation of lysosome metabolism, signaling and autophagy in health and disease, amino acid biology, and energy metabolism.

Dr. Rainey studies structural biology and biophysical characterization of proteins. He is cross-listed in the department of Chemistry, and is also the graduate coordinator for the department.

Dr. Ridgway studies cell biology of cholesterol and lipids, also working in the department of Pediatrics.

Dr. Singer studies yeast chromatin and membrane dynamics. He is also the coordinator for the undergraduate Honours program.

Dr. Too studies polypeptide and steroid hormone action, particularly with regards to tumour growth and apoptosis.

Dr. van der Spoel, who is cross-apointed in Pediatrics, studies biochemistry and cell biology of inherited neurodegenerative diseases and intracellular traffic of proteins and glycosphingolipids.
