Speaker: Dr. Basil Hubbard
Dr. Basil Hubbard is an Associate Professor in the Department of Pharmacology. He obtained his Bachelor’s degree from the University of Ottawa, and completed his PhD at Harvard University where he worked on histone deacetylases. He carried out his postdoctoral work at Harvard in the lab of David Liu, working on the directed evolution of DNA-binding proteins for gene editing. Dr. Hubbard started his independent career at the University of Alberta and was recruited to the University of Toronto in 2021. His research interests include the development and application of gene editing technologies, studying nucleic acid and chromatin binding proteins, xenobiology, and the design of next-generation macromolecular therapeutics. His work has appeared in prestigious journals including Science, Nature Methods, and Nature Communications. He was the recipient of the 2020 Canadian Society for Pharmacology and Therapeutics Junior Investigator Award.
