Galen Wright is an Assistant Professor of Pharmacology and Therapeutics at the University of Manitoba, where he holds the position of Canada Research Chair in neurogenomics. He earned his PhD in Genetics from Stellenbosch University and gained additional training in computational biology at the South African National Bioinformatics Institute. Wright's postdoctoral fellowship at the University of British Columbia focused on identifying highly predictive genetic biomarkers for adverse drug reactions and drug-induced neurotoxicities. His research also delves into precision medicine, investigating genetic variants that modify the age of onset for neurodegenerative disorders, particularly Huntington's disease. By utilizing bioinformatic analyses of large-scale genomic data, his research aims to enhance the understanding of human biology and to identify novel therapeutic targets. He is also actively accepting graduate students for Master's and PhD programs in related topics.
