Andrew Wilde is an Associate Professor in the Department of Biochemistry at the University of Toronto. Originally from the UK, he moved to North America for post-doctoral work with Frances Brodsky at UCSF, where he discovered novel links between receptor tyrosine kinase signaling and endocytosis. He later joined the Carnegie Institution in Baltimore to work with Yixian Zheng, focusing on a chromosome-based signaling pathway that spatially organizes mitotic cell division. Since moving to Toronto in 2001, he has held the Canada Research Chair in Cell Biology, where he continues to investigate the signals that spatially coordinate mitosis, with a particular emphasis on the roles of tumor suppressors in ensuring genome stability during processes such as cytokinesis and oogenesis. His research employs a multi-faceted approach, combining biochemistry and live imaging to analyze cell division in frog eggs, Drosophila embryos, and mammalian cells.
