Tahia Devisscher Forest Resources Management 2017-2018 Banting Postdoctoral Fellow Tahia Devisscher research is studying the role of urban forests to increase urban resilience as a nature-based solution to climate change. Charlotte Boott Chemistry 2017-2018 Banting Postdoctoral Fellow Charlotte Bott is developing a novel cellulose based material that is elastomeric and contains a second component which will enable the material to be strengthened after preparation. Florent Mazel Botany 2017-2018 Banting Postdoctoral Fellow Florent Mazel research is developing and testing a novel comparative approach to identify beneficial gut microbes taxa and functions that would become candidate targets for in-depth (e.g. experimental) study in the future. Kirstin Brink Oral Health Sciences 2017-2018 Banting Postdoctoral Fellow Kirstin Brink is researching the development of tooth shape differences and replacement patterns in leopard geckos and green anoles, uncovering the mysteries of life-long, continuous tooth replacement in these animals. Kenjiro Shirane Medical Genetics 2017-2018 Banting Postdoctoral Fellow Kenjiro Shirane, using using mouse genetics and state-of-the-art sequencing technology, is researching the molecular basis of several human overgrowth syndromes, which will potentially lead to new avenues for treatment of these diseases. Francine Darroch Applied Sciences 2017-2018 Banting Postdoctoral Fellow Francine Darroch is examining the social construction of physical activity with expectant and new parents with a specific focus on the role fathers play in supporting leisure time physical activity. Caroline Ritter Animal Welfare Program 2017-2018 Banting Postdoctoral Fellow Caroline Ritter's research aims to describe farmers’ networks and identify the most influential social referents on farmers’ dairy health and welfare management. Kieran Campbell Departments of Statistics & Pathology 2017-2018 Banting Postdoctoral Fellow Kieran Campbell is researching high grade serous ovarian cancer, the hardest to treat with around 2800 cases in Canada each year.
