The Pathology Research Laboratory (PRL) is an exciting and dynamic workplace; there are many members within the lab with varying areas of expertise collaborating on cutting edge research. PRL is directed by Dr. Mohammed Moghadasian and employs 15 staff, including two post doctorate fellows, one medical pathologist, one laboratory technologist and several graduate and undergraduate students. This highly qualified international research team is the driving force of carrying out a number of notch-edge experiments from molecular biology to in vitro and in vivo screening tests. The lab is fully equipped with the state of –the-art equipment and instruments.
Members are encouraged to attend seminars and conferences to learn new advances in the field of Nutrition. We always try to attend the Annual Meeting of the Canadian Society for Nutritional Sciences (CSNS) and other relevant national and international meetings. Dr. Moghadasian gave the Centrum Foundation Lecture at this year’s CSNS Meeting in Toronto, where he received his Centrum Foundation new Scientist Award. Dr. Moghadasian is jointly hosting the 6th Annual Northern Lights Summer Conference through the Canadian Federation of Biological Sciences. It is being held at the University of Manitoba, June 17 – 20 with the theme entitled: Biology of Aging - New Answers to Old Questions. His symposium is entitled “Antioxidant, Atherosclerosis and Aging: AAA Alarm”.
We are not just a bunch of nerds! There is an active social life within at PRL. Monthly potlucks are a mainstay, and birthdays of lab members are always highlighted with a celebratory cake. Members also enjoy participation in many sporting and outdoor activities such as bocce ball, the SBRC annual golf tournament, volleyball, fishing, bowling and berry picking.
