Professor
Dalhousie University
Halifax, Nova Scotia, Canada
Dr. Angelo Iulianella completed his doctoral training with Dr. David Lohnes at the University of Montreal and Institut de Recherches Cliniques de Montréal studying the role of retinoid signaling during development. He then did his postdoctoral training, funded by a CIHR Postdoctoral Fellowship with Dr. Paul Trainor at the Stowers Institute for Medical Research in Kansas City. His research there led to the discovery of transcription factor programs involved in the formation and specification of neuronal subtypes in the spinal cord. He also identified novel mouse mutants affecting the Sonic Hedgehog pathway affecting craniofacial and open neural tube defects and patterning of the nervous system. In 2009, he joined the Department of Medical Neuroscience (formerly Anatomy and Neurobiology) in the Faculty of Medicine at Dalhousie University (Halifax, Nova Scotia, Canada) where he established his research laboratory focused on uncovering the mechanisms regulating neurogenesis and neural connectivity in the cerebral cortex, cerebellum, and retina. His current research focuses on identifying principals governing the development of neuronal morphologies, and identifying molecular pathways implicated in the pathogenesis of neurodevelopmental disorders.
