Facility Description
The Biochemistry and Molecular Biology Research Node houses our hypoxia chamber and systems for the characterization and quantification of proteins, peptides, and nucleic acids.
Lab Associated
Through its association with the Carleton Mass Spectrometry Centre (CMSC), this facility and its affiliated labs have the capability to undertake protein characterization and functional studies, cell treatment (hypoxia) and proteomics:
Our Infrastructure
Biochemistry and molecular biology, which teaches us about the biological processes that take place in cells and organisms, may be used to study the properties of biological molecules for a variety of purposes (e.g., developing new drugs and improving our understanding diseases). Successfully accomplishing these objectives requires a variety of equipment and specialized tools.
Trainee Positions
Are you curious about the fundamental mechanisms of different diseases or passionate about applying data analysis to bioscience? Are you an engineer eager to become involved with tissue engineering or a chemist interested in biomaterials? Do you want to explore how light interacts with matter, discover how it can uncover the fundamental mechanisms behind cellular responses, and thereby improve our understanding of tissue structures? Would you like to work in an exciting, fast-paced, ambitious, and friendly research environment?
If you are interested in working with us, please view our current openings or contact one of the TEAM Hub core members to inquire about potential unlisted opportunities.
As our team evolves, we are constantly looking for talented individuals with a wide range of interests who are eager to exercise personal initiative while working on a variety of projects—many of which draw on different disciplinary fields. We provide a supportive learning environment and excellent training opportunities. Please check out our current openings, listed below.

The Team
We are a group of experts from different disciplines working together to tackle one of the biggest challenges of modern times: the characterization and recreation of tissue microenvironments.
Research
We seek answers to questions related to tissue homeostasis and disease. New technologies resulting from our work will facilitate diagnosis and treatment of many chronic diseases.
Infrastructure
Our state-of-the-art microscopy and analytical techniques allow us to analyze the complex biochemical and biophysical processes that occur in tissue microenvironments.
Training
By providing research opportunities and developing educational programs for the larger community, we are helping Ontario and, indeed, all of Canada build expertise in emerging but increasingly important areas of research, including tissue engineering and imaging.
