Biography

Iain Lambert is a professor in the Department of Biology at Carleton University, with extensive expertise in the mechanisms of chemical toxicity and genetic effects, particularly focusing on how chemicals induce mutations and alter gene regulation. His research employs molecular approaches and advanced experimental technologies to investigate the role of bacterial nitroreductases (NRs) in bioactivating nitrosubstituted compounds for potential use in Enzyme Prodrug Therapy. Lambert has a longstanding interest in mutagenesis and DNA repair, studying various compounds that raise human health concerns through transgenic mouse models and molecular biological approaches. His work also involves the adaptation of microarray technologies in the applications of medicine, drug development, and toxicology, particularly in collaboration with Health Canada. Additionally, Lambert's research in Environmental Microbiology focuses on how persistent chemicals interact with soil and aquatic bacteria, affecting the degradation pathways and biological activity of these substances within the environment.
