Morgan Hepburn, Ph.D.
Bruno Amaral, Ph.D.
I received my Ph.D. in Chemistry at University of Campinas (Brazil), and gained experience in proteomics and mass spectrometry-based structural biology. My current work involves chemical cross-linking applied to biological systems. I’m a mass spec guy to the core, but also into astronomy, sci-fi movies, gaming and, as a good Brazilian, F1 and football - the real one!
Morgan Khan, M.Sc.
I’m the lab manager! I spent many years in the proteomics facility using state of the art instrumentation for protein identification and characterization. However, more recently my focus has shifted to proximity proteomics, protein expression and using HDX-MS methods for interaction mapping.
Pauline Douglas, Ph.D.
I am a Research Associate in the Schriemer lab and my main focus is developing methodologies for the enrichment of cell surface proteins from clinical samples, to identify novel therapeutic targets for CAR T-cell therapy of high-fatality cancers, including Adult Glioblastoma and rare Pediatric Sarcomas.
Ben Muselius, Ph.D.
I completed my PhD in Molecular Biology under Dr. Jennifer Geddes-McAlister at the University of Guelph, using mass-spectrometry-based proteomics to study host-pathogen interactions during C. neoformans infection. My work in the Schriemer lab focuses on developing a spatial proteomics method with subcellular resolution. Outside of the lab, I am an avid climber and alpine skier.
D. Alex Crowder, B.Sc.
I am a software developer with a background in molecular biology and biochemistry. Prior to joining the Schriemer lab, I was part of a team which developed a brain-computer interface quadcopter controller. Concurrently, I worked as a web developer for a start up company. I have additional skills in data science, computer vision, and automotive data systems. As a member of Schriemer lab, I am focused on developing efficient and effective data analysis pipelines in the Mass Spec Studio.
Spencer Funk, B.Sc.
I am currently working towards my PhD in chemistry, but I have a strong appreciation for the biological applications of my work! My current research involves developing a novel set of chemical tools for high-resolution spatial proteomics. When I’m not in the lab, you’ll probably find me outdoors hiking or biking, or playing music behind a drum kit.
Christina Pan, B.Sc.
I am a graduate student in the Schriemer lab and I am using spatial proteomics to study biomolecular condensates. I completed my B.Sc. at the University of British Columbia where I did some work on identifying protease substrates. Outside of the lab, I am usually knitting/crocheting, playing the piano, or trying to keep my houseplants alive.
Shannon Healy Knibb, M.Sc.
I am a PhD student in the Schriemer lab applying spatial proteomics methods to address complex biological questions. I completed my MSc at the University of Lethbridge, where my research focused on identifying natural products with novel anti-mitotic activities and elucidating their mechanisms of action. Outside of the lab, I enjoy reading, travelling, and spending time with family and friends.
