Thomas Hurd
Associate Editor, Molecular Genetics of Development
Thomas Hurd is an Associate Professor in the Department of Molecular Genetics at the University of Toronto. He earned his undergraduate degree in biochemistry from the University of Toronto and his PhD in mitochondrial biology at Cambridge University, where he studied under Michael Murphy. During his postdoctoral fellowship with Ruth Lehmann at NYU, he used Drosophila to uncover mechanisms of mitochondrial inheritance through the female germline. His current research continues to investigate this topic through genetic, molecular, and cytological approaches.
