A graduate from the University of Manitoba, Steven has completed a Bachelors of Science (Honours) in Microbiology/Genetics, a Masters of Science in Molecular Biology, and a Doctorate in Virology/Genetics. Steven is also trained as Emergency Medical Care Assistant (E.M.C.A.) and has worked many years as a Paramedic.
Steven’s main field of study during his graduate work was to asses the pathogenic features of the Zaire Ebola virus utilizing the (ZEBOV) reverse genetic system. He also developed the ‘guinea pig adapted’ Ebola virus reverse genetic system. As an instructor at the University of Manitoba he taught numerous courses including Essentials of Microbiology, Cellular Biology, and Immunology/Virology (CFIA).
Steven has recently joined the Canadian Science Centre for Human and Animal Health as the Head of the Applied Biosafety Research Program.
His current research goals include studies on the efficacy of microbiocides used in containment laboratories, the development of fluorescent standards to use as detection tools in applied research, and the evaluation of liquid and gaseous disinfectants against viral and bacterial agents.
