Shaun Sanders is an Assistant Professor in the Department of Molecular and Cellular Biology at the University of Guelph. He obtained his BSc in Biology with a focus on Cell Biology and Genetics from the University of British Columbia, where he developed a passion for biomedical research. Sanders' interest in neuroscience deepened during his PhD studies at UBC, where he investigated the role of protein-lipid modifications, particularly palmitoylation, in Huntington's disease. He subsequently pursued a postdoctoral fellowship at the Lewis Katz School of Medicine at Temple University, exploring the impact of palmitoylation on neuronal excitability through various biochemical and cell biological approaches. His research primarily focuses on understanding how palmitoylation regulates protein targeting within neurons and its implications for neurological disorders. His lab employs modern genetic, biochemical, and cellular techniques to answer key questions about neuronal functionality and disease mechanisms.
