Bio/Research
Michael Ellison received his Ph.D. from the University of Toronto in 1983 for research focussed on chromosome structure. He spent the next six years at MIT developing accurate computational approaches for predicting the physical behaviour of bio-macromolecules. There his interests shifted toward understanding the ubiquitin system, an important cellular signalling pathway that formed the core of his research program at the University of Alberta from 1990 to 2003.
Dr. Ellison continues to be a strong advocate for innovative science. He has served on the boards of Genome Prairie, the Alberta network for Proteomic Innovation, and has played a major role in bringing new technologies to the University of Alberta through two multi-million dollar investments from the Canada Foundation for Innovation. He is also actively engaged in the dissemination of synthetic biology to undergraduates with his involvement in iGEM, a student research competition held annually at MIT.
