ABOUT CSM :: Executive & Council :: Executive
2012 - 2013 Executive
The CSM Executive consists of the President, Past President, 1st Vice-President, 2nd Vice-President, Secretary-Treasurer, Meetings Secretary, and Graduate Student Representative.
Dr. Nancy Martin
President
Nancy Martin is an Associate Professor and Graduate Coordinator in the Department of Microbiology and Immunology at Queen’s University. She is also a member of the GastroIntestinal Diseases and Protein Function Discovery Research Groups at Queen’s. Her research group focuses on understanding how bacteria use histidine and serine/threonine kinases to sense and respond to changes in the environment surrounding the cell. The lab uses Salmonella and Citrobacter as model organisms. Nancy received a BSc. (Zoology) and MSc. (Microbiology) from the University of Guelph, followed by a PhD from the Department of Microbiology and Immunology at the University of British Columbia. She held a postdoctoral position in the Department of Microbiology and Molecular Genetics at Harvard Medical School and then, following a brief time at the University of Calgary, joined the faculty at Queen’s.

Dr. Ivan Oresnik
Past President
Ivan Oresnik is an Associate Professor in the Department of Microbiology at the University of Manitoba. The research carried out in his lab focuses on the molecular microbiology of plant-microbe interactions focusing on the Rhizobium/legume symbiosis. He received his BSc as well as his MSc from McMaster University, and his PhD from Queen’s University. Following two post doctoral positions at the University of Calgary, he joined the University of Manitoba in 2000 as an Assistant Professor.

Dr. Daniel Dubreuil
1st Vice-President
Daniel Dubreuil is Professor in the department of Pathology and Microbiology of the Faculty of Veterinary Medicine of Université de Montréal. He is also Adjunct Director of GREMIP, a multidisciplinary research group interested in the pathogenesis of important pig pathogens. The research carried out in his laboratory focuses on Escherichia coli heat-resistant enterotoxins responsible for diarrheal diseases in man and animals. He received his B. Agr. (hons.) in microbiology from the Macdonald College of McGill University, a M.Sc. and a Ph.D. from the department of Microbiology and Immunology of Université de Montréal. As a Postdoctoral Fellow, he then spent a year at Institut Pasteur (Paris) and two years in the department of Biochemistry and Microbiology at the University of Victoria (B.C.).

Dr. Charles Dozois
2nd Vice President
Charles M. Dozois, Ph.D., is Professor and Director of INRS-Institut Armand-Frappier one of the four research centres of Institut national de recherche scientifique (lNRS), which is part of the Université du Québec network. Dr. Dozois holds a Canada Research Chair in Infectious Bacterial Diseases. He received his Ph.D. degree in 1995 from the Université de Montréal, and conducted post-doctoral research in veterinary immunology at the Institut National de recherche Agronomique (INRA), Toulouse, France, and in bacterial genetics and pathogenesis at Washington University, St. Louis, MO, USA. His research focuses on bacterial pathogenesis with interests in pathogenic Escherichia coli, Salmonella and food and water-borne infections. His research has focused on the importance of bacterial gene regulation during extra-intestinal infections of importance to both human and animal health. He has contributed to further understanding the importance of bacterial metal transport systems (iron, manganese and zinc), and bacterial adherence for virulence of pathogenic E. coli, and molecular epidemiology and clonal diversity of pathogenic E. coli strains. His current research interests include development of alternative strategies to the use of antibiotics for controlling bacteria of importance to animal health, food safety and zoonotic infections. Dr. Dozois has received fellowships from INRA (government of France), Natural Sciences and Engineering Research Council of Canada (NSERC), and was the recipient of the Fisher Award from the Canadian Society for Microbiologists.

Dr. Ayush Kumar
Secretary-Treasurer
Ayush Kumar is an Assistant Professor in the Faculty of Health Sciences at the University of Ontario Institute of Technology (UOIT), Oshawa, ON. His research interest include understanding the molecular mechanisms of multidrug resistance in Gram-negative bacterial species, Acinetobacter baumannii and Pseudomonas aeruginosa. He received his BSc and MSc in Microbiology from Awadh University, UP, India, and PhD from the Department of Microbiology, University of Manitoba, Winnipeg, MB. He completed his post-doctoral work from Colorado State University, Ft. Collins, CO, USA working at the Rocky Mountain-Regional Centers of Excellence. He joined UOIT as an Assistant Professor in 2007.
