Current Research
My research interests are deeply rooted in my industry background, particularly in regenerative medicine, medical devices, implantable and injectable scaffolds, neuroscience, and bio-hacking. During my Ph.D., I focused on inflammation and its connection between the gut and the brain, as well as on neuroscience, metabolism, DNA and RNA sequencing, and microRNAs. Currently, at Carleton University, I am dedicated to advancing entrepreneurship within the biotechnology sector. My aim is to foster strong connections with industry and startup companies across diverse fields such as medicine, health, industry, environment, and agriculture. Additionally, I am keen on exploring the intersection of biotechnology and software, particularly in the areas of AI and big data, to drive innovation and equip students with the necessary knowledge to excel in these evolving domains.
