معرفی
Jacob Berry is an Assistant Professor in the Department of Biological Sciences at the University of Alberta. His research focuses on molecular genetics, neurobiology, and Drosophila model systems. He teaches courses such as BIOL 207 (Molecular Genetics and Heredity) and laboratory modules including GENET 375/575 (Molecular Genetics Techniques), emphasizing CRISPR/Cas9 editing, DNA sequencing, and gene expression analysis.
His research interests span memory mechanisms, dopamine signaling in forgetting, and cancer biology involving COX-2 pathways. Recent work explores neuroplasticity in Drosophila, sleep-motivated forgetting, and genomic instability in breast cancer models. Berry’s studies often bridge molecular genetics with neurobehavioral outcomes, using Drosophila as a key experimental model.
He is affiliated with the Genetics Wing at the University of Alberta and actively contributes to undergraduate and graduate training in molecular biology techniques. No awards or grants are explicitly listed in the provided materials, though his publications reflect sustained research activity since 2004.
