Biography
Andrew Wilde hails form the UK and moved to North America for Post-Doctoral work with Frances Brodsky at UCSF where he discovered novel links between receptor tyrosine kinase signaling and endocytosis. Subsequently, he moved to the Carnegie Institution in Baltimore to work with Yixian Zheng where he discovered a chromosome based signaling pathway that spatially organizes a mitotic cell. Andrew moved to Toronto in 2001 where he held a Canada Research Chair in Cell Biology. Andrew has continued his work examining how signals spatially co-ordinate mitosis with a particular focus on the co-ordination of chromosome segregation with membrane re-organization during cytokinesis and the role of tumor suppressors in regulating this process to ensure genome stability.
