Biography

Christopher Moyes is a Professor Emeritus in the Department of Biology at Queen's University. His research primarily focuses on comparative biochemistry, specifically how animals utilize metabolic pathways to capture dietary energy and transform it into ATP, which is essential for supporting biological processes and movement. His laboratory investigates how animals regulate their genes and enzymes to ensure that metabolic pathways provide sufficient energy to meet their biological demands. In addition to his research, Moyes has extensive teaching experience, offering courses that span cell biology, biochemistry, and animal physiology. His teaching emphasizes the underlying mechanisms and common themes that create a framework for understanding the physiological differences that arise among cells and tissues in animals. He provides insights into the interactions at various levels of biological organization and explores how evolution influences the physiological diversity observed in nature.
