Understanding how proteins work and how to modify them by protein engineering: this research will lead to better sub-zero storage of cells, tissues, organs and foods as well as new drugs to decrease ischemic injury, and may also identify methods to prevent bacterial infections.

Investigating how species adapt to new environments over short time periods (years or decades): this research will improve our tools for managing biological resources that are threatened by global change.

Applying Indigenous and Western knowledge systems to research involving social and environmental justice and health equity: this research aims to create healthier relationships between Indigenous peoples and Settler (non-Indigenous) Canadians by advancing recognition, responsibility and reconciliation in community-driven and participatory ways.

Discovering how disorders of mitochondrial structure occur and how they control vital cell functions, including cell division, programmed cell death, and metabolism: this research will lead to innovative therapies that target mitochondrial dynamics and the fission and fusion of mitochondria for the treatment of pulmonary arterial hypertension, heart attacks, and lung cancer.
