Instructor
Leader in Plant Cyberinfrastructure and Bioinformatics Research
Nicholas Provart, a professor of Plant Cyberinfrastructure and Systems Biology at the University of Toronto, earned his Ph.D. from the Free University of Berlin in 1996. After co-founding a plant biotechnology company in Germany, he joined Syngenta’s Torrey Mesa Research Institute in San Diego, where he analyzed arabidopsis gene expression. Since 2002, he has developed online bioinformatic resources like the Bio-Analytic Resource, widely used by plant researchers. His lab also tests plant stress response hypotheses. Dr. Provart has held leadership roles in bioinformatics education, genome biology programs, and international Arabidopsis research committees.
