Company Description: The University of British Columbia, established in 1908, educates a student population of 50,000 on major campuses in two cities and holds an international reputation for excellence in advanced research and learning. The largest is 30 minutes from the heart of downtown Vancouver, a spectacular campus that is a 'must-see' for any visitor to the city -- where snow-capped mountains meet ocean, and breathtaking vistas greet you around every corner. The Vancouver campus boasts some of the city's best attractions and recreation facilities, including the Museum of Anthropology, the Chan Centre for the Performing Arts , the UBC Botanical Garden and Centre for Plant Research , and endless opportunities to explore forested trails in the adjoining 763-hectare Pacific Spirit Regional Park. Our second major campus is in the dynamic Southern Interior city of Kelowna in the Okanagan Valley. UBC Okanagan, open since 2005, provides an intimate learning community in the spectacular wine-growing region of British Columbia.

Background

Stephen Wicks PhD Scientist
Stephen Wicks recently joined Rancho Biosciences as a Scientist and data curator. Stephen possesses decades of experience in life science research environments, and has a keen understanding of the needs of scientists in the contemporary data analysis arena.

Stephen was formally trained as a neuroscientist at theUniversity of British Columbia (Ph. D.) in the lab or Dr. Cathy Rankin.

...During six years at the Netherlands Cancer Institute and The Hubrecht Institute of Developmental Biology in the lab of Dr. Ronald Plasterk in Holland, Stephen made significant contributions in the areas of cell and molecular biology and genetic mapping methodologies using the model system C. elegans.
...Stephen continued this work in his own lab at Boston College where, as an assistant professor, he ran research groups interested in the structure and function of ciliated endings in cells, and the use of polymorphic variation as a probe to enable dissection of complex phenotypes such as the integrated behavioral response to a chemosensory stimulus, and lifespan control.
Throughout his career, Stephen has consistently drawn on both experimental and computational approaches to enable discovery.
