Biography
Dr. Mustapha Aouida received his PhD in Molecular and Cell Biology in 2003 from both the Science University of Tunis and Gustave Roussy Institute, Paris. For his post-doctoral fellowship he joined Professor Ramotar at Maisonneuve-Rosemont Research Institute in Montreal where he studied the mechanism by which yeast cells and mammalian cells become resistant to the antitumor drug bleomycin. Dr. Aouida joined the College of Health and Life Sciences in April 2016 as a Lab Manager and is currently a Senior Lab Manager and Senior Research Scientist at the college.
