Biography

Andrew W.B. Craig is a Professor in the School of Medicine at Queen's University. His lab focuses on cancer research, particularly the signaling pathways that regulate cell motility and inflammation, with an emphasis on mast cells. His current projects investigate the role of these cells in tumor progression and the mechanisms of paracrine signaling linked to mast cell activation and systemic mastocytosis. Craig employs various techniques, including RNA interference, cell biology, and transgenic mouse models, to explore these avenues. His academic journey began at Queen's University with a B.Sc. Honours in Biochemistry in 1993, followed by a Ph.D. at McGill University where he studied mRNA translation. Since joining Queen's University as faculty in 2002, he has mentored numerous students and researchers. His published work includes numerous high-impact articles in notable journals, elucidating the roles of different kinases and adaptors in cancer biology, particularly related to breast cancer and mast cell dynamics.
