The Integrative Physiology and Metabolism (iPAM) Lab is dedicated to research in integrative physiology and metabolism. Through studying how body parts work in concert to maintain health and what goes wrong in diseases, we aim to identify therapeutic targets and devise novel approaches to the prevention and treatment of metabolic diseases. Research projects undertaken by an enthusiastic Team are supported by national, provincial, and institutional Funding. Enthusiastic candidates interested in graduate studies and post-doctoral fellowships are encouraged to check out our latest News, Publications, and potential Opportunities.
The University of Saskatchewan is one of Canada’s top research universities, a member of the U15 Group of Canadian Research Universities (the 15 most research-intensive universities in Canada), and runs one of Canada’s 17 medical schools.
Our lab is located at the Health Sciences Building, College of Medicine, University of Saskatchewan, Saskatoon, SK. Saskatoon, nicknamed “Paris of the Prairies” and “Bridge City” and home of the ReMai Modern Museum, is the largest city in the central region of the Canadian province of Saskatchewan. Saskatoon is friendly and vibrant, welcoming people from around the world to live and study here.
