Jeffrey Gagnon

I joined Laurentian University in the summer of 2014. I am a core faculty member in the School of Natural Sciences. I am accredited to supervise graduate students in the biology MSc program and Biomolecular Sciences PhD program. My research program investigates the role of gastrointestinal hormones in health and disease with particular interest in how the gut microbiome can influence hormones and alter metabolism.

I teach courses in the areas of microbiology, cell biology, and endocrinology. 

My office is located in the Science Building, S719

 Post Doctoral Fellowship Physiology,  University of Toronto 2014

PhD Physiology and Biophysics,  Dalhousie University 2013

MSc Biochemistry, University of Ottawa 2008

BSc Biopharmaceutical Sciences, University of Ottawa 2006

Associate Professor School of Natural Sciences

Graduate Supervision in Biology MSc and Biomolecular Sciences PhD

My lab examines how the gut endocrine system regulates energy metabolism.

Areas of interest are:

–Hormone Dysregulation

–Glucose Metabolism (Type 2 Diabetes)

–Metabolic Inflammation

–Gastrointestinal microbes (microflora)

These areas are examined by various techniques including:

–Mammalian cell culture (endocrine cell lines and primary cell culture)

–Rodent models of weight gain (both genetic and diet induced)
