Bio/Research
Dr. Grant was born and raised in Langley, British Columbia (B.C.), graduated from the University of B.C. with a BSc in biochemistry, then worked as a research technician in the UBC Faculty of Medicine, Division of Rheumatology. He later completed an MSc in Microbiology at UBC and a PhD in Molecular Virology and Immunology at McMaster University. His postdoctoral work was with the Department of Microbiology and Immunology at UBC and with Immune Network Research Limited, a Vancouver based biotechnology company. He was appointed assistant professor of Immunology in the Division of Basic Medical Sciences, Faculty of Medicine, Memorial University of Newfoundland and was recently promoted to full professor.
Throughout his career, he has studied the immunology of chronic viral infections, especially human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) infection. He has been successful in earning personnel awards and research operating funds throughout his career. His perspective on research has been broadened by election to the Council of the Canadian Association of HIV Research, which represents all streams of HIV research, and by membership on the Ministerial Council for HIV and AIDS, which advises the Federal Minister of Health on all aspects of the federal initiative addressing HIV. These memberships, combined with his experience as a researcher, scientific reviewer, exposure to the biotechnology industry and residency on and between Canada's two coastlines, will allow him to make a valuable contribution to the Institute Advisory Board.
