We are a metabolomics research group based at the University of Toronto.

Our overarching goal is to better understand the functions of metabolites and metabolic networks in human diseases such as cancer. We hope that this understanding will lead to novel therapeutic strategies and treatments, as well as better diagnostic and prognostic markers to improve health outcomes.

To achieve our goals, we develop and use mass spectrometry methods to comprehensively map metabolomes and lipidomes of a plethora of biomedically relevant cell lines, cancer cell lines, and patient-derived tumour cells.

We strive to create a lab and environment that values, includes, and supports members with diverse backgrounds, beliefs, and experiences. This means ensuring our lab is representative of what society looks like today. We hope that our efforts provide opportunities for historically underrepresented groups to pursue education, training, and careers in STEM.
