C. Peter Constabel

Dr. C. Peter Constabel is a Professor in the Department of Biology at the University of Victoria's Faculty of Science. His research examines biochemical defense mechanisms in plants against pests and environmental stresses, focusing on phenolic compounds like tannins in tree species.

Using poplar tree models, his lab investigates metabolic pathways, gene regulation, and ecological functions of phytochemicals that influence forest ecosystems and human health through bioactive compounds.
