<\/div><\/section>[\/vc_column][vc_column width=”3\/4″][vc_column_text]Bill Trimble received his PhD in 1987 from the University of Toronto where he worked in the laboratory of Dr. Nobumichi Hozumi studying the mechanisms responsible for cellular transformation by the ras oncogene.\u00a0 He then went on to do postdoctoral work with Dr. Richard Scheller at Stanford University where he discovered the VAMP protein, the first member of the family of proteins now known as SNAREs that are responsible for the fusion of membranes in virtually all cellular contexts.\u00a0 In 1990 he moved back to the University of Toronto and in 1996 to The Hospital for Sick Children where he is a Senior Scientist Emeritus and former Head of the Cell & Systems Biology Program.<\/span><\/p>\n

His research focuses on the basic mechanisms controlling a variety of cellular processes, such as membrane transport, lipid metabolism and cell division, and how these go awry in diseases such as atherosclerosis and cancer.<\/span><\/p>\n
