Tier 2 Canada Research Chair in Emergency Response to the Opioid Overdose Crisis. Objectives: optimizing identification of people at risk for overdose (e.g., emergency department screening) and low-barrier access to harm reduction and life-saving therapies at acute care interfaces. 

Clinical and public health interventions to decrease overdose risk (opioid agonist therapies, monitoring... Read More

Graduate trainees and post-graduate-level fellows are invited to express their interest in working on two funded studies involving the health of marginalized people who use drugs in Vancouver, Canada:

1. The AIDS Care Cohort to evaluate Exposure to Survival Services (ACCESS): This United States National Institutes of Health-funded open observational prospective cohort... Read More

First Nations students engaged (and/or interested) in community based research, decolonizing practices, and process that support Indigenous authority and jurisdiction are encouraged to connect with Professor Menzies to discuss potential applications to graduate study.  Other students interested in exploring the relations of power and inequality within contemporary capitalist society and...

The main lab focus is protein quality control and how misfolded proteins are triaged within the cell. In the next years, we want to establish several new projects and here are some examples:
- Identification of protein quality control pathways mediating rare genetic diseases in human.
- Reconstitution of the quality control machinery in vitro to better understand the molecular... Read More

Research in the Lynn lab is targeted at understanding the insulin-producing pancreatic β-cell, how it fails during diabetes mellitus and how we can make surrogate cells to cure diabetes. We use a variety of models to study the regulatory pathways important for embryonic β-cell genesis and function. The current focus of research in the lab is understanding how DNA-binding transcription factors... Read More

• Role of epigenetics in male and female germline development
• Role of retroelements in gene regulation
• Interplay between epigenetic marks and DNA methylation in the early embryo
• Impact of the Histone H1 frameshift mutation in Rahman Syndrome (RMNS) on chromatin structure and transcription

In the above domains, to be worked out with excellent candidates. I am well funded by CIHR and have an excellent track record of mentoring MSc and PhD students.

My enthusiasm for research draws from my interest in the biochemistry and physiology of nutrition-related diseases and in targeted and population-based strategies of chronic disease prevention and optimal health promotion. My research focuses on micronutrients and specifically B-vitamins and their kinetics and functions in human metabolism. B-vitamins are required for normal cell growth and... Read More

Understanding the quality of antibiotic prescribing to migrants in two Canadian provinces (British Columbia and Ontario) for common infections

Antibiotics are very important medications that are used a lot in Canada. These medicines help stop infections caused by bacteria. However, antibiotic treatment can lead to superbugs, which then go on to become more common in our... Read More

I’m a climate scientist who studies how the land surface modifies the rest of the coupled Earth system. Broadly, I study land-atmosphere interactions, climate dynamics, atmospheric dynamics, climate modelling, and the coupled climate system, as well as being active in the development, use, and analysis of both idealized and complex Earth system models. 

I study how changes in the land... Read More
