Donal Hickey focuses on biology's big picture
Donal Hickey has spent his career looking at the tiniest components of life. Now he is focused on biology’s big picture.
Hickey, an accomplished researcher in both genetics and genomics, has joined the University’s Biology Department as Canada Research Chair in Genome Evolution, Tier 1. As such, he is Concordia’s man at the forefront of a very new field of biology: comparative genomics – or, as he calls it, “genetics at zoom-out.”
