Today marked the final lecture for the Winter 2013 edition of Signal Transduction (BIOC 4031). Signal Transduction is a course that explores the regulation of metabolism and physiology by a process stemming from a ligand-receptor interaction, typically at the cell surface, and propagating through the cell machinery to metabolic enzymes, transcription factors, DNA packaging proteins, … Continue reading “Signal Transduction” comes to an end

Meet Neal Callaghan
Neal I. Callaghan, winner of a Goodridge Summer Undergraduate Award at Mount Allison University, is Chris' first-ever official summer research student and upcoming honours undergraduate thesis student. Take a look at a more expanded bio for Neal here.
The results are in!
Last semester (Fall 2012), Chris taught at Mount Allison University a 4th-year biochemistry course called Immunochemistry (BIOC 4011). As with all courses at Mount Allison, and many other universities, students marked the end of the semester by evaluating the course, and the instructor himself. These evaluations have recently been tabulated and returned to Chris, and … Continue reading The results are in!
A biochemical sort of snakes and ladders…
Following fast on the heels of last semester's Immunochemistry course- which received a very positive response- Chris Dieni is currently offering another course called Signal Transduction (BIOC 4031) in the Department of Chemistry and Biochemistry at Mount Allison University. Signal Transduction explores the pathways- the proverbial biochemical snakes and ladders- that stem from the receptors … Continue reading A biochemical sort of snakes and ladders…
What’s cooking in the classroom?
When you're the Margaret and Wallace McCain Postdoctoral Fellow at Mount Allison University- the Maclean's-ranked top primarily-undergraduate university in Canada- teaching, in addition to research, is a huge part of the job. To see what Chris has been up to with regards to his teaching duties, have a look at the newly-created Teaching section of this … Continue reading What’s cooking in the classroom?
