Kevin Floate PhD

I am an insect ecologist employed by Agriculture and Agri-Food Canada at the Lethbridge Research and Development Centre. Research in our lab covers a broad range of topics that includes study of insects affecting crops, stored grain products and livestock; insect-microbe (symbiont) interactions; and host-parasitoid interactions. We’ve also done extensive research on dung-dwelling insects and how they are affected by faecal residues of veterinary medicines applied to cattle.

Stacey Singer PhD

Dr. Singer's research program at Agriculture and Agri-Food Canada’s Lethbridge Research and Development Centre focuses on unraveling the genetic mechanisms behind various performance- and quality-related traits, including abiotic stress tolerance, digestibility, lipid content/composition and photosynthesis. She is also interested in the improvement of these traits using advanced molecular breeding tools such as genome editing, especially in forage crops such as alfalfa.

Waqas Tahir PhD

Dr. Waqas Tahir is a Research Scientist and Head of the TSE unit, NCAD Lethbridge Laboratory at Canadian Food Inspection Agency/ Government of Canada. Dr. Tahir is also the head of the World Organization for Animal Health’s BSE (Bovine Spongiform Encephalopathy) reference lab in Canada. Dr. Tahir’s research focuses on the identification of underlying molecular mechanisms of prion diseases, novel ante-mortem diagnostic biomarkers as well as sensitive detection methods for animal prion diseases. In his research, Dr. Tahir amalgamates various high throughput approaches ranging from genomics, transcript-omics, differential proteomics and spectral confocal imaging using both in-vitro as well as in-vivo models. Ultimate goal of Dr. Tahir’s research is to develop technologies to promptly diagnose animal prion diseases for designing mitigation strategies in a timely manner to protect public health and preserve food chain.
