Biography

Dr. Vanina Zaremberg is a Professor at the University of Calgary, specializing in lipid metabolism signaling and its biotechnological applications. Her research focuses on understanding the roles of lipids in cellular membranes and their implications in energy storage and signaling pathways. Utilizing the budding yeast model organism, Dr. Zaremberg investigates lipid biosynthesis, regulated lipid pools in eukaryotic cells, and lipid-targeted drug interactions with cellular membranes. Her current projects include studying the synthesis of phosphatidic acid and its regulatory mechanisms, as well as monitoring diacylglycerol pools using high throughput genomic imaging. She has pioneered the use of fluorescent probes to explore lipid dynamics and is engaged in understanding how lipid drugs affect cellular signaling cascades. Dr. Zaremberg's contributions to her field are supported by various prestigious awards, including the Discovery Accelerator Supplement from the Natural Sciences and Engineering Research Council of Canada and the Great Supervisor Award from the Faculty of Graduate Studies at her institution.
