I am a Canadian citizen, who is currently living in the United States.
I received a Ph.D. in molecular virology from the University of British Columbia, where I studies viral polyprotein processing in in small RNA viruses. My research fellowship was done at Emory University School of Medicine, where I investigated cell transformation caused by polyomavirus middle tumor antigen associated proteins. Forth last decade or so I have been working in the biotech industry.
In addition, to my academic interests in molecular biology, genetics and evolution, I am also interested in the interaction of science with other aspects of human culture. In particular, I am fascinated by the interaction of science and faith, since this iteration has the greatest impact on shaping society. As such, I contribute to several communities that encourage positive dialogue between science and faith based communities.
