Andrew Fraser is a professor in Molecular Genetics at the University of Toronto. His research primarily focuses on the model organism C. elegans to understand drug discovery and design. He investigates unusual metabolic pathways that allow these nematodes to survive under low oxygen conditions, which has implications for human health, particularly in understanding how parasitic nematodes can infect humans. He employs in vivo screens and in silico modeling to identify novel drugs that target unique metabolic pathways. His work also explores how the gut microbiome influences the metabolism of these worms, potentially leading to new therapeutic strategies.
