Amy Maddox

Amy Maddox is an Associate Professor in the Department of Pathology and Cellular Biology at the Faculty of Medicine, Université de Montréal, specializing in cellular mechanisms of division and morphology. Her work bridges pathology and fundamental cell biology with clinical relevance.

Her primary research domains include:

• Cell Division Dynamics
• Cytokinesis Regulation
• Cytoskeletal Mechanics
• Molecular Morphogenesis
• Cell Size Control
• Tissue Biogenesis

Dr. Maddox holds two major career awards:

• Canada Research Chair in Cytoskeletal Dynamics and Cell Division (2013)
• FRQS Research Scholar (Junior I) clinician-scholar award

She has supervised doctoral and master's research including Karine Gauvin Bourdages (PhD, 2018) on cell size regulation in cytokinesis and Carlos Patino Descovich (MSc, 2014) on myosin filament dynamics. Her research program (2007-2016) secured competitive funding from FRQS, NSERC, CIHR, NIH, and the Canada Research Chairs program, focusing on molecular mechanisms of cell shape change and tissue formation during division.
