Dr. Paul Babyn

Paul Babyn is the Head of Medical Imaging in CoM and is leading the establishment of nuclear medicine and imaging at the new Cyclotron on campus.  He is involved heavily in both clinical and basic science research. 

Dr. Julia Boughner

The Boughner Lab studies the evolution and development (evo-devo) of teeth and the jawbones that hold them using 3D imaging, geometric morphometrics, and gene expression technologies. Our focus is on mammals, notably primates including humans, but we also explore tooth and jaw morphogenesis and genetics in other vertebrate groups including fish and frog.

Dr. Dean Chapman

Dean Chapman is a Canada Research Chair and the current Scientific Director of the CLS synchrotron.  His research uses physics to develop novel imaging strategies for both soft and hard tissues, enabling non-invasive assessments of such tricky tissues as lung and cartilage. 

Dr. Dave Cooper

Dave Cooper is a Canada Research Chair focussed on using synchrotron imaging to track bone adaptation, aging, and disease.  He currently directs the BMIT beamline at the CLS, leading efforts worldwide to use synchrotron imaging at doses that enable tracking bone changes longitudinally in the same animal.

Dr. Brian Eames

Brian Eames studies the development and evolution of skeletal tissues.  Mostly focussed on osteoarthritis, his lab uses zebrafish genetics and synchrotron imaging to understand the molecular mechanisms of osteoarthritis, also developing 3D-bioprinting approaches for articular cartilage tissue engineering.

Dr. Soo Kim

The research program of Soo Kim in the School of Physical Therapy broadly encompasses musculoskeletal and shoulder health, using imaging and 3D computer modelling to develop novel ultrasound protocols to assess changes to muscle pre- and post-exercise, treatment, and surgery. 

Dr. Pat Krone

Pat Krone studies two related subjects: toxicology and stress response.  His lab uses synchrotron imaging to relate the localization of toxins (such as mercury) to organ toxicity, and they also study cellular response to heat shock (and toxic) stresses.

Dr. Bill Kulyk

Bill Kulyk studies signalling pathways and extracellular matrix molecules involved in differentiation of embryonic cartilage, applying this knowledge to cartilage tissue engineering approaches. 

Dr. David Leswick

David Leswick is a clinical radiologist.

Dr. Steve Machtaler

Dr. Helen Nichol

Helen Nichol develops new synchrotron imaging technologies to assess the role of metals in neural disorders, such as Parkinson’s, Multiple Sclerosis, or those resulting from stroke.

Dr. Petros Papagerakis

Dr. Lissa Peeling

Dr. Sheldon Wiebe

Sheldon Wiebe is a clinical radiologist who also specializes in novel synchrotron imaging techniques.
