Dr. Robert Beattie is an Assistant Professor of Biochemistry and Medical Genetics within the Rady Faculty of Health Sciences.
Dr. Beattie received his bachelor of science (honours co-op) in microbiology from the University of Manitoba (2009) and his PhD in Biomedical Sciences from The University of Sheffield, in England (2014). He completed postdoctoral training at the University of Basel, in Basel, Switzerland and the Institute of Science and Technology (IST) Austria, in Klosterneuburg, Austria. His research has helped to advance a dual colour, genetic lineage tracing technology called Mosaic Analysis with Double Markers (MADM), which he used to study the molecular regulators underlying stem cell fate decisions at single-cell resolution. Dr. Beattie joined the University of Manitoba as an assistant professor in August 2021.
Dr. Beattie currently applies MADM technologies to investigate how cell-intrinsic and tissue-wide gene programs contribute to normal brain development and tissue homeostasis.
