DalPower video: Biochemistry and Molecular Biology Professor Andrew Roger

Posted by Research Services / Communications and Marketing on February 27, 2013 in Community Highlights

Andrew Roger has spent much of his career piecing together the Tree of Life. His group has shown that much of life’s diversity comprises five-to-six super-kingdom level groups that diversified more than 1 billion years ago. In collaboration with Alastair Simpson's Biology group, Roger’s team assembled the first evidence for a large “super-kingdom” group called the Excavata. Last year, he was inducted as a Fellow in the Royal Society of Canada.
