Tamara Western, Principal Investigator
Associate Professor
I started at McGill in 2003 after crisscrossing the continent for several years (PhD, University of British Columbia, BC, 1998; Postdoc Waksman Institute-Rutgers University, NJ, 1999-2001; Research Associate, back at UBC, 2001-2003). Trying to find out how things work is my passion and I’m happiest settled down in front of a good microscope with cool stuff to look at.

When not working on cell biology, I like to settle down with mysteries of the non-biological type or play with my new daughter.
