Dr. Gregory Ross, PhD, is a biomedical research scientist specializing in disorders of the nervous system. Dr. Ross’ research is focused on the influence of environmental factors on brain disease, and he has study sites throughout Ontario and in other regions of Canada. Prior to joining the Northern Ontario School of Medicine as Associate Dean, Research, Greg was on the faculty of Queen’s University in Kingston, and earlier trained at McMaster University in Hamilton. Greg is very active in the Canadian biotechnology sector, and serves on many advisory boards and review panels, at both provincial and national levels. He is the scientific founder of two successful biotechnology companies in Canada, and is the recipient of a national scholarship for research excellence. Greg was the Associate Dean, Research at the Northern Ontario School of Medicine from 2004 – 2014 and currently holds the MAG Aerospace Industrial Research Chair in Health and Environmental Surveillance. The research focus of the group is environmental monitoring (using remote sensing technologies) and includes studies on wildfires, cyanobacteria, invasive species, and other events impacting human health. |
