People - Grant Brown's Lab, University of Toronto


	Grant W. Brown, Ph.D. el jefe Publications Link Grant received his Ph.D. in Molecular Biology from UCLA where he worked in Dan S. Ray's lab studying DNA replication in the trypanosomatid C. fasciculata. His postdoctoral fellowship was at the Johns Hopkins University School of Medicine in Baltimore with Tom Kelly, where he studied regulation of S phase in fission yeast. He has been at U of T since 1999, Associate Professor since 2004, and Professor since 2011.
	Attila Balint, B.Sc. Graduate Student Attila received his B.Sc. in Molecular Genetics from the University of Toronto. He is studying the recruitment of Rtt107 to stalled replication forks.	BACK TO TOP

	Edith Cheng, B.Sc. Graduate Student Publications Link Edith received her B.Sc. in Molecular Genetics from the University of Toronto. She is examining the contributions of essential genes to maintenance of genome integrity.
	Jiongwen Ou, M.S. Technician Publications Link Jiongwen has a B.S. in Medicine from Kunming Medical College, China and an M.S. in Forensic Medicine from West China University of Medical Sciences. He was a technician at Mount Sinai School of Medicine in New York before joining our group. In addition to being an all-around miracle worker, Jiongwen is characterizing the biochemical properties of Rmi1.	BACK TO TOP
	Tina Sing, B.Sc. Graduate Student Publications Link Tina graduated from the University of Western Ontario with a B.Sc. in Biochemistry. She is exploring the role of chromatin structure in the response to DNA damage during S phase of the cell cycle.	BACK TO TOP

	Johnny Tkach, Ph.D. Postdoctoral Fellow Publications Link Johnny received his Ph.D. in Biochemistry from the University of Toronto, in John Glover's lab. He is using DNA combing to characterize DNA replication defects in genome instability mutants and is conducting high-content microscopic screens to identify novel DNA damage response pathways.

	Nikko Torres, B.Sc. Graduate Student Nikko received his B.Sc. in Biochemistry from the University of Toronto. He is identifying novel DNA damaging agents using chemical genetics in yeast and human cells. Nikko is co-supervised by Corey Nislow.	BACK TO TOP
	Jessica Vaisica, B.Sc. Graduate Student Publications Link Jessica received her B.Sc. in Biochemistry and Biotechnology from the University of Windsor. She is studying the role of Rtt101/Mms1/Mms22 in stabilising stalled replication forks.

	Jay Yang, B.Sc. Graduate Student Publications Link Jay received his B.Sc. in Biochemistry from the University of Toronto. He is investigating the function of Rmi1 in the maintenance of genome integrity.
	Askar Yimit, Ph.D. Postdoctoral Fellow Askar received his Ph.D. in Biology from Queen's University, where he worked in Paul Young's lab. He is investigating regulation of intracellular protein localization during DNA replication stress.
