I am interested in the protein-protein interactions contributing to the onset and progression of Alzheimer’s Disease (AD). Using a tagged protein expression system, coupled with mass spectrometry, I hope to identify novel interactions leading to an in depth protein interaction map for AD.

Graduate Students
 
Mohamed Abu-Farha
M.Sc. Biochemistry, Carleton University, Canada (2005)
B.Sc with Highest Honors. Biochemistry and Biotechnology, Carleton University, Canada (2003)

My work involves the characterization of a new histone lysine methyltransferase and identifying its potential lysine substrate. We are also interested in studying the role that this gene might play in cancer as a methyltransferase since it regulates other genes expression. This work is done using different genomic and proteomic techniques.

Nick Denis
B.Sc Biochemistry, University of Ottawa

Nick's work focuses primarily on protein ubiquitination. He is involved in developing new approaches for identifying ubiquitination sites from complex biological samples using large-scale proteomics-based experiments.

He is also interested in applying these approaches for the identification of potential biomarkers of various human diseases.

Staff
 
Fred Elisma, Bioinformatician
D.E.S.S. Bioinformatics, Universite du Quebec A Montreal, Canada (2003)
M.Sc. Biology, Universite du Quebec A Montreal, Canada (2002)
B.Sc Biochemistry, Universite du Quebec A Montreal, Canada (1999)

Fred's main project is a software called Spectra Search Engine Integrator. This software integrates results from different search engines and supports an integrated identification scores of the individual search engines. This software is available on the OISB site. Fred is also involved on data mining and a GO Ontology Project.
