Bioinformatics & Computational Biology, Functional Genomics, Molecular Biology, Physiology, Plant Biology, Systems Biology |
My general research interest lies in the interaction between genome, epigenome, and phenotypic performance in plants with emphasis on persistent effects of past experience and molecular memory systems. |
Cheng, Hai-Ying (Mary)Professor |

Animal Biology, Cell Biology, Neurobiology, Physiology, Psychology & Behavior |
In the Cheng lab, we seek to understand the molecular and cellular mechanisms that govern circadian rhythms in mammals using our animal model of choice, the lab mouse. We are also interested in other aspects of cellular or brain function, including neurodevelopment, neurodegeneration, neurogenesis, mood regulation, cellular metabolism, protein trafficking, and transcriptional regulation. |
Currie, MarkAssistant Professor |
Office: DV3047mark.currie@utoronto.ca |
Epigenetics, Genome Biology, Gene regulation, Structural Biology, Biochemistry, Molecular Biology, Genetics, Cell Biology |
We seek to understand the mechanisms that govern genome organization, epigenetic gene regulation, and genome stability in health and disease. We combine structural biology, biochemistry, and cellular model systems. |
Ensminger, IngoAssociate Professor |
Office: DV3050ingo.ensminger@utoronto.cahttp://www.utm.utoronto.ca/ensminger/ |
Physiology, Plant Biology |
Research in the Ensminger lab is focusing on the physiology of plants to understand the molecular, cellular and physiological mechanisms underlying adaptation and acclimation of plants to their environment. not simply for scientific interest. |
Erclik, TedAssistant Professor |
Office: DV3046ted.erclick@utoronto.cahttps://www.ercliklab.com/ |
Developmental Biology, Neurobiology, Molecular Biology and Genetics |
Our lab's goal is to understand how complex neural circuits develop from an initial population of stem cells. As a model system, we use the Drosophila optic lobe, which is the visual processing center of the fruit fly brain. |
Espie, GeorgeProfessor |

Biotechnology, Cell Biology, Microbiology, Molecular Biology, Physiology, Plant Biology, Structural Biology |
We are interested in the understanding the structure and function of the cyanobacterial CO2 concentrating mechanism and how it affects photosynthetic activity and photoautotrophic growth under a variety of environmental stresses. |
Lange, AngelaProfessor |
Office: DV3200Gangela.lange@utoronto.cahttp://www.utm.utoronto.ca/lange-lab/ |
Animal Biology, Molecular Biology, Neurobiology, Physiology |
I am an insect physiologist who studies how the nervous system and visceral tissues communicate and integrate information allowing for coordinated behaviours such as egg-laying, digestion, and circulatory function. |
Levine, JoelProfessor & Chair |
Office: DV3030joel.levine@utoronto.cahttp://levinelab.com/ |
Social Interaction Networks (SINs), Perception and Recognition of Others in the Group, Biological Clocks |
We study social networks and how the social environment influences individual behaviour. |
Liu, BaohuaAssistant Professor |
Office: DV3049baohua.liu@utoronto.ca |
Systems Biology, Animal Biology, Cell Biology, Neurobiology, Physiology |
We are interested in the circuit mechanisms underlying the orchestration of the ocular motor behavior and visual information processing, which is essential for proper vision. |

Genetics, Genomics & Molecular Evolution,
|
The genetic variation required for evolution by natural selection is generated by mutation, which creates new variants, and recombination, which shuffles those variants into new combinations. In my lab we combine experimental evolution, computational biology, population genetics and genomics to uncover how the generation of variation at the molecular level interacts with genetic drift and natural selection to drive patterns of biological diversity. |
Orchard, IanProfessor |
Office: DV3035ian.orchard@utoronto.ca |
Animal Biology, Biotechnology, Molecular Biology, Neurobiology, Physiology, Proteomics |
We examine the functioning of the nervous system, using insects as experimental models. We establish the mechanisms by which the nervous system communicates; examining hormonal, synaptic, and modulatory mechanism. |
Phillips, MichaelAssistant Professor |

Cell Biology, Chemical Biology, Metabolomics, Molecular Biology, Plant Biology, Quantitative Biology, Systems Biology |
My research focuses on the control of flux in plant metabolic networks and the adaptive responses of the plant metabolome to stress at the interface of primary and secondary metabolism. |
Rhee, Ho-SungAssistant Professor |
Office: DV3045hosung.rhee@utoronto.cahttp://sites.utm.utoronto.ca/rhee/ |
Cell Biology, Neurobiology, Molecular Biology, Systems Biology |
We study how a unique neuronal cell type is specified and maintained during mammalian development. To understand these processes, we use cutting-edge stem cell differentiation and genomics approaches in neural development and disease. |
Senatore, AdrianoAssistant Professor |

Animal Biology, Bioinformatics & Computational Biology, Cell Biology, Evolutionary Biology, Functional Genomics, Neurobiology, Physiology, Proteomics |
We seek to understand the function and dysfunction of several ion channels that play important roles in the nervous system, and further, how these and other electrogenic genes were adapted during nervous system evolution for complex cellular coordination and animal behavior. |
Stewart, BryanProfessor |
