Potential project areas:

Genetics and epigenetics of common complex diseases including peanut allergy, food allergy, asthma, atopy, healthy aging, aortic valve stenosis. Longitudinal analyses of childhood birth cohorts. The lab is currently initiating several targeted whole genome bisulfate sequencing projects and we plan on integrating data from a variety of omics approaches. We are also developing genetic risk indexes for a variety of common complex disease.

Research Interests: Climate science, Climate change impacts, Climate policy, Coastal ecosystems, Marine environment, Climate modelling and prediction, Science communication, Net-zero emissions , Coral reefs

Potential project areas:

I am a climate scientist focused on helping the world prevent and prepare for climate change. I serve as a member Canada’s Net-Zero Advisory Body, which advises the Canadian government on climate change solutions, and was a lead author on the most recent assessment report by the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change assessments.

My research program lies primarily at the intersection of climate change science, marine science, and policy. The specific research areas evolve over time in response to advances in climate change knowledge and to real-world events. Prospective students and post-doctoral researchers should check my personal web site for current and planned areas of research, as well as for guidance for applicants.

I am able to admit students via the Institute for Resources, Environment and Sustainability, the Institute for the Oceans and Fisheries, the Department of Geography (science degrees only) or the Atmospheric Sciences program.

Research Interests: Modelization and Simulation, Evolution and Phylogenesis, Biological Behavior, Dynamical systems, Evolution, Game theory, Social dilemmas, Stochastic processes

Research Interests: Environment and Respiratory Diseases

Potential project areas:

We have several projects running at any given time (see the lab website and publications for a sense of what we do).
Candidates are matched with an appropriate project based on interest and expertise.
Our general approach is to welcome outstanding candidates (the very best) at every level of training to contribute to our award-winning team.
