Thomas Hurd is an Associate Professor in the Department of Molecular Genetics at the University of Toronto. His research focuses on mitochondrial DNA inheritance from mothers to offspring and the influence of mitochondria on stem cell fate and differentiation. He employs an integrative approach that combines molecular genetics and cell biology with state-of-the-art microscopy. A significant part of his work utilizes the model organism Drosophila melanogaster alongside mammalian cells to explore various aspects of genetics and cell development. Hurd aims to uncover the complexities of development through the lens of genetic models and metabolic processes, providing insights that extend to health and disease contexts.
