Guest Faculty

Christopher Pearson, PhD Senior Scientist, The Hospital for Sick Children Research Institute, Toronto Full Professor, Department of Molecular Genetics, University of Toronto, Toronto

Dr. Pearson received his Ph.D. from McGill University (1994) studying DNA replication and protein- cruciform- DNA interactions. He then accepted a post-doctoral fellowship in the Texas Medical Center in Houston to elucidate the mechanism of disease-causing repeat instability in myotonic dystrophy, spinocerebellar ataxia, Huntington’s disease, and fragile X mental retardation. In 1998 he was appointed at The Hospital for Sick Children Research Institute in the Program of Genetics & Genome Biology and cross-appointed to the University of Toronto in the Department of Medical Genetics, advancing to Senior Scientist and Associate Professor in 2004, and has since been promoted to full professor in 2016. In 1999 he was appointed as a Scholar of the Medical Research Council of Canada. In 2001 he was appointed as a Scholar of the Canadian Genetic Disease Network, Canadian Network Centres of Excellence; awarded The Ontario Premier’s Research Excellence Award; and in 2006 received the International Opportunities Award, Canadian Institutes of Heath Research. He has been a Member of International Myotonic Dystrophy Consortium since inception in 1999. He serves on advisory boards for the National Fragile X Foundation USA, National Ataxia Foundation USA, The Canadian Neuromuscular Disease Registry, BioMarin- Prosensa Therapeutics, and has served as an ad hoc scientific advisor for The Marigold Foundation, TREAT-NMD, Cure Huntington’s Disease International, and the Fragile X Research Foundation Canada. He has diligently served the American Society of Human Genetics and been a member of the Awards Committee for the American Society of Human Genetics since 2009 and was Chair of that committee from 2012-13. He has co-organized the International Conference on Unstable Microsatellites & Human Disease for the past eight iterations, since 2002, as well as numerous international myotonic dystrophy meetings. He has been Associate Editor for PLoS Genetics, Journal of Medical Genetics, and Human Genetics (since 2007). Christopher’s laboratory has for the past two decades studied the mechanisms of disease-causing repeat instability associated with neurological, neurodegenereative and neuromuscular disease, with the goal of developing effective treatments. He has published over 80 peer-reviewed studies. DEPARTMENT OF NEUROLOGY 5TH ANNUAL FALL SYMPOSIUM PROGRAM AGENDA
