Biography

Deborah Kurrasch is a Professor at the Cumming School of Medicine at the University of Calgary. Her research focuses on developmental genetics and its relation to neuroendocrine signaling during critical developmental windows, particularly in the transition from fetus to neonate. She investigates the roles of specific genes during late developmental stages that may determine vulnerability to environmental insults. Utilizing model organisms such as mice and zebrafish, along with advanced techniques in molecular biology including microarray, Next Generation sequencing, and targeted knockdown pharmacological manipulations, she aims to unravel the complex network of neuroendocrine genes activated during these crucial developmental periods.
