Focus

Marcel Behr was the Founding Director of the 六合彩开奖结果 International TB Centre. He completed a BSc in听Biochemistry at the University of Toronto, an MD at Queen鈥檚 University and residency training in Internal Medicine, Infectious Diseases and Medical Microbiology at 六合彩开奖结果. He also completed an MSc in Epidemiology and Biostatistics at 六合彩开奖结果听and then did post-doctoral training in molecular epidemiology and bacterial genomics, with Peter Small, at Stanford University. He is currently a Professor of Medicine at 六合彩开奖结果 and Associate Director of the Infectious Diseases and Immunity in Global Health Program at the Research Institute of the 六合彩开奖结果 Health Centre (). In听addition to research activities, he attends on the Infectious Diseases consult service, he works in the TB clinic of the MUHC and he directs the mycobacteriology laboratory of the OptiLab Grappe-CUSM.

Marcel鈥檚 research employs genomic methods to study the epidemiology and pathogenesis of听TB and other mycobacterial infections. His research is supported by a Foundation Grant听from the CIHR and he also enjoys an active collaboration with the Structure-Based Drug Discovery Coalition () for the development of novel anti-mycobacterial treatments. He has published more than 200 peer-reviewed publications, reviews and book chapters. In recognition of his work, he has been elected to the American Society of Clinical Investigation and is a Fellow of听the Canadian Academy of Health Sciences, the Royal Society of Canada and the American Academy of Microbiology.
