Brigitte Lavoie is an Associate Professor in the Department of Molecular Genetics at the University of Toronto. She holds a PhD in Molecular Genetics and focuses her research on cell biology, specifically on chromosome biology and disease models. Her work addresses fundamental problems related to the maintenance of genetic integrity in dividing cells and the mechanisms of abnormal chromosome segregation, a phenomenon that can lead to conditions such as Down's syndrome. In her lab, she studies eukaryotic chromosome transmission and employs budding yeast as a model organism. Professor Lavoie teaches several courses, including MGY340 Molecular Genetics, MGY315 Principles of Genetic Analysis II, and MMG1012 Genome Duplication, Repair, and Transmission, where she provides students with a comprehensive understanding of genetic principles and molecular mechanisms.
