Research
In the Pawson laboratory, Dr. Colwill has been investigating the role of kinases and adapter proteins in signal transduction.  By combining mass spectrometry techniques for both identification and quantification of protein complexes as well as high throughput screening using RNAi, we are starting to understand the role that these proteins play in signal transduction.

In addition, Dr. Colwill is the Project Manager for a software enterprise application termed OpenFreezer that tracks reagents within their laboratory including their relevant features and locations.  OpenFreezer is currently tracking over 150,000 reagents at the Samuel Lunenfeld Research Institute.
