Present at LSRN

Introducing our keynote speaker: Dr. Michael Gold!
Professor and Department Head
Department of Microbiology & Immunology, UBC
Dr. Gold did his undergraduate degree at Michigan State University where he majored in Physics but also had a strong interest in the developing science of molecular biology. After carrying out an undergraduate research project aimed at producing antibodies against viral proteins, he did his PhD in immunology at the University of California at Berkeley, studying the activation of macrophages by bacterial cell wall components. This was followed by post-doctoral work at the University of California at San Francisco where he began his work on signal transduction in B cells. He has been a faculty member at UBC since 1993 and directs a research laboratory that now focuses on the dynamic interplay between B cell receptor (BCR) signaling and cytoskeletal organization. His lab members use advanced microscopy techniques such as real-time imaging and super-resolution microscopy, combined with computational analysis. Dr. Gold was the Head of the Department of Microbiology & Immunology from 2009-2019 and was awarded a Killam Teaching Prize for MICB 302 in 2003.
