Chronic Wasting Disease (CWD) Strains The webinar is scheduled for 2019/12/11 Start 1:00 PM VIDEO
Debbie McKenzie, PhD
Associate Professor @dept of Biological Sciences and Centre for Prions and Protein Folding Diseases, University of Alberta Dr. McKenzie received her PhD in Medical Biochemistry from the University of Calgary, Alberta. From 1988 to 2008, she was a research scientist at the University of Wisconsin at Madison, working with Drs. Richard Marsh and Judd Aiken. Her studies combined biochemical analyses of infectious prions with prion infectivity studies in rodents and deer. When Chronic Wasting Disease (CWD) was first identified in Wisconsin in 2002, CWD became her main research focus, with an emphasis on CWD genetics and strains. In 2008, she moved to the Centre for Prions and Protein Folding Diseases at the University of Alberta where she continues to focus on CWD strains. Her research team has identified four different CWD strains, to date. She leads a Genome Canada project, “Systems Biology and Molecular Ecology of Chronic Wasting Disease,” a project involving 12 research teams all working towards understanding CWD.
