معرفی
Lindsay Rogers is an Associate Professor of Teaching in the Department of Biochemistry and Molecular Biology within the Faculty of Medicine at the University of British Columbia. She teaches undergraduate courses in biochemistry and molecular biology and holds additional roles as Faculty in Residence at the Emerging Media Lab and as a Faculty Fellow at UBC Sustainability.
Her educational background includes:
- Bachelor of Science in Biochemistry from Queen's University (2005)
- PhD in Biochemistry from the University of British Columbia (2011)
Dr. Rogers' primary research interests focus on immersive learning technology, where she leads projects aimed at effectively visualizing biochemical systems within interactive 3D environments. Her work bridges the gap between complex biochemical concepts and accessible educational tools through innovative technological approaches. Additionally, she maintains a strong interest in environmental science and environmental health, exploring how molecular understanding can elucidate complex global issues that often have controversial dimensions. Her passion for science education is evident in her statement that she "loves discussing science and interacting with students at all levels."
Analysis of her publication record reveals a strong focus on proteomics, particularly phosphoproteomics and protein post-translational modifications. Her early career research centered on host-pathogen interactions, especially involving Salmonella, examining how bacterial effectors manipulate host cell signaling through phosphorylation and ubiquitination. More recently, her work has expanded into environmental health and cancer workforce development for Indigenous populations, reflecting her growing interest in applying biochemical knowledge to broader societal issues.
Dr. Rogers serves in multiple educational leadership capacities beyond her teaching role. As Faculty in Residence at the Emerging Media Lab, she contributes to the development of innovative educational technologies. Her position as Faculty Fellow at UBC Sustainability demonstrates her commitment to integrating environmental considerations into academic work. Through her 3D Metabolism project, she has created tools that transform how students interact with complex biochemical pathways.
