The questions of our interest are:
  
   * How cells respond to external signals,   * How cells respond to external signals,
   * How the timing and number of cell division are controlled,   * How the timing and number of cell division are controlled,
   * How cells acquire unique identities,   * How cells acquire unique identities,
-  * How environmental signals modulate animal behavior+  * How environmental signals modulate animal behavior,  
 +  * How aging and stress response are regulated
  
-These questions form the basis of our work to understand the mechanisms of normal processes and diseases, such as cancer and neuronal degenerationFor this we are using two well-known nematode (worm) model organisms //C. elegans// and //C. briggsae//. These tiny animals (roughly 1 mm long) are particularly useful in discovering the roles of conserved genes and pathways in processes that are shared among all eukaryotes.\\+These questions form the basis of our work to understand the mechanisms of normal and disease statesThe model organisms that we use in our lab are well-known nematodes (worm) //C. elegans// and //C. briggsae//.

 Our approach is multidisciplinary and includes techniques in genetics, genomics, molecular biology, bioinformatics, and engineering. We collaborate extensively with other laboratories, both at McMaster and outside, to develop new tools and resources. The applied aspect of our work involves making use of basic research findings and in-house tools to carry out drug discovery projects.\\ Our approach is multidisciplinary and includes techniques in genetics, genomics, molecular biology, bioinformatics, and engineering.

-Research projects in our lab are currently funded by Natural Sciences and Engineering Research Council of Canada (NSERC). In previous years we were also supported by Canadian Institutes of Health Research (CIHR), Ontario Ministry of Research and Innovation (MRI), Canadian Research Chairs (CRC), Canada Foundation for Innovation (CFI), Ontario Innovation Trust (OIT), and National Institutes of Health (NIH).\\+Research projects in our lab are currently funded by the Natural Sciences and Engineering Research Council of Canada (NSERC).
