Research Activities
As Director of two large core service facilities, I no longer maintain a personal research program and do not have any graduate students. Instead, through the Centre for Health Genomics and Informatics, I am developing a research infrastructure platform, which will further the Cumming School of Medicine’s goals in Precision Medicine and provide next-generation sequencing (NGS) support to researchers in the International Microbiome Centre, the Faculty of Veterinary Medicine and the rest of the University of Calgary. Additionally, through UCDNA Services, I run core service laboratories providing automated Sanger DNA sequencing and oligonucleotide synthesis services.
