Lab Members

The lab is looking for a diverse group of people interested in functional genomics and synthetic biology. We are looking to recruit graduate students and postdocs with backgrounds in genetics, molecular biology, genomics, bioengineering, bioinformatics and computer science. Undergraduate thesis and summer students are welcome to apply!

Students are encouraged to apply through Concordia University’s Department of Biology or SynBio Apps Program as well as McGill University’s Rosalind & Morris Goodman Cancer Institute, Quantitative Life Sciences Program and Department of Human Genetics.

Interested applicants should send Dr. Kuzmin their transcript, CV and a brief description of their research interests.

Jump to team or alumni.
