Dr. Jennifer Geddes-McAlister

My keen interest in scientific research and academics began during my undergraduate degree at the University of Lethbridge, where I investigated the impact of fungal pathogens on agricultural development and performed my first proteomics experiments. This amazing experience led to a PhD in the laboratory of Dr. Jim Kronstad at UBC, where I applied quantitative proteomics to comprehensively profile the cellular proteome and secretome of the fungal pathogen, Cryptococcus neoformans. My fascination with mass spectrometry-based proteomics and pathogenesis provided the foundation for a postdoctoral fellowship supported by NSERC and the Alexander von Humboldt Foundation in the laboratory of Prof. Dr. Matthias Mann at the Max Planck Institute of Biochemistry in Munich, Germany. During my postdoc, I combined my expertise in microbiology and proteomics with experimental systems immunology to profile the interplay between Salmonella and its host during infection. At the University of Guelph, my research group will blend cutting-edge proteomics technologies with a systems biology perspective to explore host-pathogen interactions.
- BSc (co-op) – University of Lethbridge, Biological Sciences
- MSc – University of Lethbridge, Biological Sciences
- PhD – University of British Columbia, Microbiology and Immunology
- Postdoctoral Fellow – Max Planck Institute of Biochemistry, Proteomics and Signal Transduction
We are interested in characterizing the mechanisms of pathogenesis, adaptation, and survival in fungal and bacterial microbes from a systems biology perspective through mass spectrometry-based quantitative proteomics. Specifically, research in the lab centres around the following areas:
- Differential patterns of pathogenic regulation between microbial species;
- Systems biology to elucidate microbial proteome dynamics and interactions;
- Mechanistic characterization of pathogenic proteins; and
- Mass spectrometry-based proteomics for drug discovery and repurposing.
Our long-term goals emphasize the utilization of mass spectrometry-based proteomics to fundamentally understand differential microbial adaptation and survival strategies and to integrate a novel systems biology platform for investigation of diverse biological systems, defining functional mechanisms of cellular regulation and pathogenesis.
Interested students and post-doctoral fellows are encouraged to contact me to learn more about new and exciting opportunities.
