Nhu Trieu is an electron and confocal microscopist at the University of New Brunswick Microscopy and Microanalysis Facility. She is currently also working part-time on her M.Sc in biology in Dr. Crawford’s lab on matrix metalloproteinase 11 and timp 4 in zebrafish. She has a B.Sc with a specialization in genetics from the University of Alberta. When she's not in the lab, Nhu is training pole sports at Brass Monkey Pole Sport.
Dr. Tokaryk did an undergraduate degree in Engineering Physics at University of Saskatchewan, where he developed interests in quantum mechanics and optics. He pursued these in M. Sc. and Ph. D. degrees in the Physics Department of the University of Guelph, where he did research in molecular spectroscopy and reaction dynamics. He has been teaching and doing research in Physics at UNB since 2002, and runs the laser spectroscopy lab with his colleague, Dr. Allan Adam of the Chemistry Department. They study molecules that may form in stars or in the interstellar medium by producing them in cold, fast-moving jets of gas then excite the molecules with lasers to obtain their spectra.
Molly Gallibois is a graduate student in the Faculty of Kinesiology at the University of New Brunswick. Under the supervision of Dr. Danielle Bouchard, her research focuses on physical activity and aging. More specifically, Molly’s thesis is investigating the impacts of sedentary behaviour on frailty and risk of falls in long term care. She is actively involved in several projects through the Cardiometabolic, Exercise and Lifestyle Laboratory, and the New Brunswick Institute for Research and Data Training. This year Molly is a recipient of the Canadian Frailty Network Interdisciplinary Fellowship. In her free time, Molly enjoys running, cycling and practicing yoga.
Dr. Janice Lawrence is the Associate Dean of Science, and an Associate Professor in the Biology Department. Janice completed her BSc (Marine Biology) and PhD (Biological Oceanography) at Dalhousie University. Her PhD thesis investigated the source and dynamics of algal toxins in cultured shellfish. She completed a postdoctoral fellowship at UBC studying the role of viruses in phytoplankton ecology, and received an NSERC University Faculty Award to join UNB in 2003. Janice is currently examining the distribution of toxin-producing cyanobacteria in New Brunswick water bodies using genetic tools. She also collaborates with researchers at the University of Bergen studying the co-evolution of viruses and their hosts, and NORCE (Norway) examining the fate of viruses in marine ecosystems. In addition, she co-supervises students studying virus and viroid infections in crop plants at the Fredericton Research and Development Centre.
Jose Moran-Mirabal is an Associate Professor in the Department of Chemistry and Chemical Biology at McMaster University, and the Canada Research Chair in Micro and Nanostructured Materials. Jose’s research combines strengths in micro- and nanofabrication, surface chemistry, and high-resolution fluorescence microscopy to design and study materials at the micrometer to nanometer scale. Jose obtained a BSc in Engineering Physics and MSc in Biotechnology from ITESM, in Monterrey, Mexico. He then joined the group of Prof. Harold Craighead at Cornell University, where he performed research on the application of micro- and nanofabricated surfaces for the study of lipid membranes. He received his PhD in Applied Physics from Cornell University in 2007. He worked as Post-Doctoral (2007-2009) and Research Associate (2009-2011) in the Biofuels Research Laboratory at Cornell University under the supervision of Prof. Larry Walker. There, he applied quantitative fluorescence methods to the study of cellulase binding kinetics, binding reversibility, and catalysis. Jose joined the Department of Chemistry and Chemical Biology at McMaster University in July 2011.
