Research Assistant I

Matthew grew up in Toronto, Ontario, and received his B.Sc. major in biology, with a minor in neuroscience from Dalhousie University in Halifax, Nova Scotia. Matthew spent some time during his undergrad working in Dr. Xianping Dong’s lab, where they studied the role of lysosomal ion channels in lysosomal storage diseases. Apart from his important laboratory roles as a research assistant in Dr. Rosato’s lab, one of Matthew’s most substantial tasks is to educate his fellow lab members about their friendly neighbours to the north. Outside of the lab, some of Matthew’s hobbies include playing soccer, chess, climbing, and reading.
