Biography

David Morse is a full professor at the Department of Biological Sciences at the Université de Montréal. His research focuses on the dinoflagellate Gonyaulax polyedra, a unicellular marine protist known for its unique biological clock that enables it to specialize in photosynthesis during the day and bioluminescence at night. His lab investigates the molecular bases of these circadian rhythms at molecular levels, including biochemical and gene expression regulation aspects. Morse is also interested in understanding the circadian control of the cell cycle in this species. Throughout his career, he has supervised multiple graduate students and participated in a variety of research projects related to dinoflagellate biology, cellular biochemistry, and molecular regulatory mechanisms.
