Introduction to the Programme Research Spotlight
Links

The Biomolecular Sciences Ph.D. programme studies two broad areas of science which include cell regulation and the structure and function of biomolecules.  These areas of study include the structure, function and properties of molecules relevant to biological processes in prokaryotic or eukaryotic cells including the use of such molecules in medicine, biotechnology and other applied biosciences.  The programme provides academic and research training to prepare exceptional students for careers in academic research, teaching, biotechnology, the pharmaceutical industry and biomedicine.  This involves the training of students in the most current methodologies and promoting the development of new knowledge and skills.  Faculty members in the Biomolecular Sciences programme pursue a wide range of research interests and are funded by the major granting agencies which include: CIHR, NSERC, NCIC, CFI, OIT, ORF, Heart and Stroke Foundation, Canadian Breast Cancer Foundation (CBCF), and the Canada Research Chairs (CRC) programme.

Dr. Leslie Sutherland

Our lab focuses on cell regulation, in particular co-transcriptional regulation and apoptosis. We study the structure, function and mechanism of action of a novel family of genes, RBM5, RBM6 and RBM10, that appear to encode RNA binding proteins with the ability to modulate apoptosis via the regulation of alternative splicing.
