We study light-activated membrane proteins important in bioenergetics and vision. In our research, we combine methods of modern biophysics with techniques of molecular biology and biochemistry.
I specialize in Canadian theatre history, with a focus on the history of radical political intervention theatre. My secondary field at the moment is reenactment culture and "warplay".
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.
Studying the behavioural biology of cattle sheds light on how they see and experience the world, and ultimately offers us insight into their feelings. What drives their behaviour? How do the ways that we interact with them, house them, and manage them, impact their well-being? In our lab, answering these questions are fundamental to ensuring that the animals we farm, in this case cattle, live a good life.
