معرفی
Dr. Michael Czubryt is a full Professor in the Department of Physiology & Pathophysiology at the University of Manitoba and a Principal Investigator at the Institute of Cardiovascular Sciences, St. Boniface Hospital Albrechtsen Research Centre. He serves as Executive Director of Research at St. Boniface Hospital and is affiliated with the Canadian Epigenetics, Environment and Health Research Consortium (CEEHRC).
Dr. Czubryt's research focuses on gene activation and repression mechanisms in cardiovascular pathophysiology, particularly cardiac fibrosis. His work explores transcriptional regulation of fibrosis, its role in heart failure, and development of novel fibrosis inhibitors. He employs advanced techniques including microarray analysis to study gene regulation in heart diseases.
- Education: PhD in Cardiovascular Pathophysiology (University of Manitoba), BSc(Hons) in Biotechnology (University of Manitoba), CIHR/HSFC postdoctoral fellowship (University of Texas Southwestern Medical Center at Dallas)
Dr. Czubryt's laboratory investigates how transcription factors regulate gene expression in heart diseases, with emphasis on identifying therapeutic targets for fibrosis. His work has been supported by major Canadian funding agencies including Heart and Stroke Foundation of Canada, Canadian Institutes of Health Research, and Canadian Foundation for Innovation.
