James
Scott, PhD, ARM(CCM)
James completed
a PhD in Mycology at
the Department of Botany,
University of Toronto.
His doctoral work investigated
the genetic diversity
of fungi in the built
environment under the
supervision of Profs.
David Malloch and Neil
Straus. James founded
Sporometrics while working
on his thesis, and incorporated
the company in 1996.
At Sporometrics, he
serves as the Laboratory
Director, and oversees
the research programs
underway. In addition
to his work at Sporometrics,
James is also Assistant
Professor in the Department
of Public Health Sciences
at the University of
Toronto. His research
program is laboratory-based
and uses molecular genetic
methods. The primary
areas of interest are:
1) adaptation of fungi
to human-associated
environments, and 2)
systematics and ecology
of the mould genera
Penicillium and Aspergillus.
James is a consultant
to the Ontario Region
Poison Information Centre
on mushroom poisoning.
He also consults in
medical mycology to
Gamma-Dynacare Medical
Laboratories. |
