Ph.D. in Biochemistry, University of Calgary, Canada
Bio: Many cationic peptides have been shown to exhibit antimicrobial, antibiofilm, antitumour and immunomodulatory activities. I am currently working on optimizing synthetic peptides for various applications and trying to understand what are the peptide sequence requirements that govern these biological activities.

Expertise: Synthetic peptides, biophysics, structural biology, high throughput screening.

Ph.D. in Molecular Biology, University of Salzburg, Austria
Bio: I completed my Bachelor thesis in cancer research at the Center of Molecular Immunology, Cuba. I recently finished the PhD at the University of Salzburg, Austria. My PhD mainly focused on identification, physicochemical, and immunological characterization of clinically relevant weed pollen allergens. I moved to Vancouver to start as a Post-Doctoral Fellow in the lab of Dr. Chris Overall. Here, I will be working on the project “Moonlighting Inflammatory Proteolytic Proteins”.

Expertise: Mammalian cell culture, mice tumor models, flow cytometry, recombinant protein expression and purification, protein analytics (CD, FTIR, western blot).

Bio: I am interested in studying rare human variants to advance our understanding of fundamental biological processes and disease pathogenesis.Defective proteolysis is a mechanism that is common to a diverse range of diseases. I am therefore undergoing postdoctoral training in the lab of Prof. Chris Overall to learn ‘degradomics’ workflows, which allow the identification of protease substrates in an unbiased way. I am currently applying these methods to study the role of the only known human paracaspase (MALT1) in health and immunological disease.

Expertise: proteomics, mouse models, bioinformatics, cell models, imaging.

Ph.D. in Chemistry and Molecular Biology, Chinese Academy of Science, China
Bio: With the support of CBS Postdoctoral Fellowship, I am working in Dr. Dana Devine’s lab at CBR aiming to improve platelet quality and safety in blood banking. My research focuses on the biochemical mechanism of platelet storage lesion and platelet deterioration following pathogen inactivation treatment during storage.

Expertise: Protein biochemistry (protein expression and purification techniques), molecular chemistry, cell biology.

Ph.D. in Molecular Biology, University of Pantnagar, India
Bio: I have background in liposomes mediated drug delivery. As a postdoctoral fellow in Dieter Bromme Group, I am currently investigating the mechanism of cathepsin K mediated extracellular matrix degradation, and identification of specific anti-collagenase inhibitors of cathepsin K and their in vivo evaluation.

Expertise: molecular biology, drug delivery, electron microscopy, primary cell culture.

Ph.D. completed in France
Bio: I’m a postdoctoral fellow in the Fabio Rossi lab at the Biochemical Research Center since May 2015. I am interesting in tissue resident stem cell behaviour during skeletal muscle regeneration and in case of myopathies. I performed my PhD in France in the lab of Bénédicte Chazaud, working on the effect of metabolism on satellite cell fate.

Expertise: Skeletal muscle biology, Cell culture, mouse models, flow cytometry, metabolism, immunochemistry.
