| Biography | |
Dr. John Pezacki is a Senior Research Officer at the Steacie Institute
for Molecular Sciences, NRC and has Adjunct professor appointments at
the University of Ottawa in the Department of Chemistry and in the
Department of Biochemistry, Microbiology and Immunology. Dr. Pezacki
also has an adjunct appointment at Queens University in the department
of Chemistry. He is also an associate member of the Ottawa Institute of
Systems Biology and is the Scientific Leader of a large multi-institute
research program for the development of biosensor technologies at the
NRC as part of a Genomics and Health Initiative. Dr. Pezacki's research
is multidisciplinary and focuses on the development of new tools and
methodologies for the visualization and interrogation of subcellular
processes. Dr. Pezacki's main interest is the study of the molecular
mechanisms of host-virus interactions for the hepatitis C virus (HCV).
His experience in biological chemistry, chemical genomics/proteomics,
and new technologies brings a unique expertise to the NCRTP-HepC. He has
been involved in a number of collaborative projects with international
partners including Professor Sunney Xie at Harvard on the application of
coherent anti-Stokes Raman scattering (CARS) microscopy to the
visualization of host-virus interactions in model systems of HCV, and
with Peter Schultz and co-workers at the Genomics Institute of the
Novartis Research Foundation on the application of new screening tools
(small molecule and siRNA based) to the investigation of host-virus
interactions for HCV. |
