Adrian Dauphinee
Researcher and PI investigating plant catabolism mechanisms. In addition to my roles in research and teaching, I hold two positions of trust at the Department of Molecular Sciences: Premises coordinator and Webmaster. My current research focuses on developing new tools and strategies to manipulate and further unravel critical biochemical processes in plants, specifically, the autophagy ("self-eating) pathway and biomolecular condensates called stress granules. In addition to my research, I am also passionate about scientific communication and outreach.

Teaching

Organizer and lecturer for SLU's Confocal Microscopy course (SLU), 2019-Present

Lecturer for Genetic Molecular Plant Science (Stockholm University and Uppsala University), 2018-2021.

Background

I'm a Canadian biochemist interested in catabolic processes, specifically autophagy ("self-eating") and programmed cell death (PCD). After completing my PhD studies at Dalhousie University (Canada) under the supervision of Dr. Arunika Gunawardena, I started a Natural Sciences and Engineering Research Council (NSERC) Postdoctoral Fellowship in Sweden. My current research has focused on developing new tools and strategies to manipulate and further unravel this critical biochemical pathway. I am dedicated to understand how autophagy can be leveraged for the improvement of agriculture and human health. In addition to my research, I am passionate about volunteer work with a focus on science communication and public outreach. I am currently supported by Formas mobility and Starting Researcher Grants, as well as a Carl Tryggers Foundation grant.
