Dr. Charles Krieger is a Professor in the Department of Biomedical Physiology and Kinesiology at Simon Fraser University. He holds a Doctor of Medicine degree from the University of Toronto, a Master of Science in Neuroscience from Université de Montréal, and a Ph.D. in Physiology from the University of London. His research focuses on the physiological and pathophysiological mechanisms underlying motor control and brain function. He leads the Brain Research Laboratory, which employs neurophysiological and cell biological methods to investigate nervous system function and dysfunction. Current research projects in the lab include the characterization of ion current in neurons related to health and disease, evaluating the roles of protein and lipid kinases using cell culture models of excitotoxicity, and determining the function of protein kinases in animal models of motoneuron disease. Dr. Krieger has published extensively on topics related to signal transduction in neurons and neurodegenerative diseases, including amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS). His work has contributed to a deeper understanding of intracellular signaling pathways that affect neuronal survival and function.
