Uottawa team1 Kaern.png








Dr. Mads Kaern
Systems Biology
Dr. Kaern was appointed Canada Research Chair in Systems Biology in 2004. He is a core member of the Ottawa Institute of Systems Biology, and an Assistant Professor of Cellular & Molecular Medicine with cross-appointment in the Department of Physics at the University of Ottawa. With expertise in genetic engineering, dynamical systems theory and computational modelling, Dr. Kaern focuses on complex gene regulatory processes. This research aims at understanding fundamental properties governing cellular signal processing and transduction to facilitate advances in biotechnology, biopharmaceutical and biomedicine, including stem cell research and studies of multifaceted disease.

Dr. Illimar Altosaar

Biochemistry, Microbiology and Immunology

Dr. Altosaar is a world-renowned expert on plant biology and genetically modified organisms. He is a Full Professor working with the Department of Biochemistry, Microbiology & Immunology, and the Faculty of Medicine at the University of Ottawa. He is the Director of Agricultural Biotechnology Laboratories at the University of Ottawa. He sits on the Scientific Advisory Board of Cell Reserves Inc., Ottawa, Ontario, Canada. He is also the Co-founder of Vitegen, Inc. Raleigh, NC, USA. Over the past decade, Dr. Altosaar’s basic research in gene expression in plants and DNA transformation of global food crops formed an important part of the International Rice Biotechnology Program funded by The Rockefeller Foundation. To increase food yields and decrease environmental carcinogens, Dr. Altosaar’s laboratory synthesized plant codon optimized genes for entomocidal Bacillus toxins that have been deployed in many major crops throughout the world.

Dr. Doug Johnson

Plant Molecular Biology

Dr. Johnson is an Associate Professor working with the Department of Biology at the University of Ottawa. He and his research team are studying the structure and regulation of soybean genes implicated in fundamental processes such as nitrogen fixation and seed development. They are especially interested in the expression of foreign proteins and enzymes in the seed coat and the use of these enzymes in industrial and agricultural processes.
