Ryan Charles Russell

Ryan Charles Russell is an Assistant Professor in the Department of Cellular and Molecular Medicine at the University of Ottawa's Faculty of Medicine. His laboratory investigates autophagy mechanisms in physiological and pathological contexts, focusing on cellular responses to nutrient stress, DNA damage, and hypoxia.

Research Focus: Deciphering molecular pathways regulating autophagy and their roles in cancer progression, inflammatory bowel diseases, and neurodegenerative conditions. Research explores how autophagy dysfunction contributes to disease pathogenesis.
