I am a human geneticist and molecular biologist by training and have a PhD from the University of Toronto's Department of Molecular and Medical Genetics. Over the years I have studied the organization of immunoglobulin heavy chain genes[1][2][3], the neurobiology of dopamine signaling in the nematode C. elegans,[4][5] and the genetics of inflammatory diseases (Crohn's Disease[6][7][8] and Rheumatoid Arthritis[9]). Currently I work at The Centre for Applied Genomics and am interested in structural variation of the human genome.[10][11][12]

Personal interests include electronic musical instruments, photography, motorsports, and writing. I have a theoretical interest in Ferrari sports cars, but unfortunately no practical experience.
