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 and bioinformatics. 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 and Department of Human Genetics.

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