Mark Lechner is a molecular biologist with a research background in human cancer and developmental biology. He received his B.S. in Microbiology from the University of Notre Dame and completed his Ph.D. in Molecular Genetics and Cell Biology at the University of Chicago, where he investigated how certain human viruses, such as HPV, lead to cancer. His research focuses on understanding the mechanisms that control early embryonic development and the genetic errors and environmental factors that can alter these processes and lead to disease. Dr. Lechner's special interest lies in epigenetics and the interaction between genes and environmental factors that influence human traits. He was appointed as a faculty member in the Department of Bioscience & Biotechnology at Drexel University, serving as an Assistant Professor before joining the Faculty of Health Sciences at Simon Fraser University in 2008. He teaches courses covering genetics, cell biology, biochemistry, developmental biology, and cancer biology.
