SUPPORT

Team Alberta is very grateful for the generous support of its supervisors, contributors and collaborators. Our team prides itself on our project being an across campus initiative, engaging the efforts of many individuals across numerous departments of the University of Alberta campus.

Supervisors

Dr. Michael Ellison
Department of Biochemistry
At the beginning of his career, Mike Ellison’s interests were primarily centered on the structure and function of complex biomolecules. More recently his interests have tended towards the possibility of constructing synthetic biological devices that perform useful functions. As Synthetic Biology theme leader of the Bioconversions network, his current efforts are directed toward the creation of microbial systems with the capacity to produce high value chemical feedstocks from provincially available sources of biomass. He 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 through two multi-million dollar investments from the Canada Foundation for Innovation.
