The overarching goal of research in my lab is to engineer viruses to prevent, treat and cure diseases, including monogenic lung diseases, infectious diseases, and cancer.
My research program is the only one in Canada that integrates economics, hydrology, and GIS to examine the cost effectiveness of landscape conservation programs.
My research interests lie in the areas of electron transfer initiated reactions, surface and interfacial chemistry, and synthesis and applications of metal sulfide materials.
The goal of my research is to improve the life of cancer patients by identifying tools to make better treatment decisions. This can possibly improve several important aspects of the life of a cancer patient, including treatment response, the quality of life, and the overall survival following treatment.
My research involves studying the physiology and production management of apples, cider apples, peaches, pears, and cherries. As with any agricultural crop, the industry is rapidly changing with the availability of new cultivars, rootstocks, production systems, and labour saving technology.
I am interested in the diverse knowledge systems and participatory approaches (citizen science, youth engagement, community-based monitoring, Indigenous guardians, etc.) that contribute to community-led environmental decision making in resource-based and remote communities.
Immigrant families settling the land, quilting bees, and ploughing matches are examples of some of the social and economic topics of early Ontario that link my work to the larger expertise of this University concerning agriculture and rural communities.
