Dr. Christopher L Brett is a Professor of Biology at Concordia University, serving as Co-Director of the Centre for Microscopy and holding the Concordia University Research Chair in Applied Cell Science. He holds a PhD from Johns Hopkins University and a Postdoctoral Fellowship from the University of Washington. His research focuses on fundamental lysosome biology, aging mechanisms, and engineered extracellular vesicles for therapeutic applications. Key areas include lysosomal transporter degradation pathways, membrane fusion dynamics, and organelle trafficking under stress conditions.
Recent publications highlight his work on sphingolipid regulation of vacuole fusion, stress-induced membrane fission mechanisms, and novel cell-free assays for studying multivesicular body-lysosome interactions. His work bridges molecular mechanisms with translational applications in drug delivery and disease modeling.
Awards are listed in his profile, though specific honors are not detailed. His lab (Brett Lab) explores lysosomal biology and vesicle engineering, with research outputs emphasizing organelle membrane dynamics and cellular stress responses. Collaborative grants and interdisciplinary work are central to his academic contributions.
