معرفی
Thibault Mayor is a Professor in the Department of Biochemistry and Molecular Biology and the Michael Smith Laboratories at the University of British Columbia (Vancouver). His research focuses on understanding how cells manage misfolded proteins, with implications for neurodegenerative diseases like Parkinson's and Alzheimer's. He holds academic affiliations with the Centre for High-Throughput Biology (CHiBi) and has been recognized with awards including the UBC Killam Teaching Award (2020).
Education:
- BSc, University of Geneva, Switzerland (1997)
- PhD, University of Geneva & Max Planck Institute of Biochemistry, Germany (2001)
- Postdoctoral Fellow, California Institute of Technology (2002)
Research Interests:
Mayor's lab investigates protein homeostasis, ubiquitin-proteasome system dynamics, and the molecular mechanisms underlying protein aggregation in aging and disease. Projects include proteomic approaches to identify aggregation-prone proteins and develop microbial cell factories for protein production.
Grants & Awards:
- CIHR Project Grant ($730K, 2018)
- Michael Smith Foundation Career Award (2012)
- UBC Killam Teaching Award (2020)
Labs & Collaborations: The Mayor Lab is part of the Michael Smith Laboratories and collaborates with computational biologists like Jörg Gsponer. They maintain active partnerships in proteomics and systems biology, contributing to initiatives like the BC Proteomics Network.
