None of the work in the Clugston lab would be possible without these people working at the bench.

The Clugston lab gratefully and proudly acknowledges funding from the following agencies:

Canadian Institutes of Health Research

Project Grant (2018-2023). Altered hepatic retinoid homeostasis in the initiation and progression of alcoholic liver disease

Project Grant (2020-2025). Altered vitamin A homeostasis and retinoic acid signaling in the development of congenital diaphragmatic hernia

Natural Sciences and Engineering Research Foundation

Discovery Grant (2017-2023). The Vitamin A Laboratory (VitAL) research program: fundamental insight into vitamin A metabolism

Canadian Foundation for Innovation

John R. Evans Leaders Fund (2019-2024). The Vitamin A Laboratory (VitAL) Research Program

Women's and Children's Health Research Institute

Innovation Grant (2016-2018). The role of altered vitamin A (retinoid) signaling in the development of congenital diaphragmatic hernia

Molly Towell Perinatal Research Foundation

New Investigator Award (2016-2018). Abnormal vitamin A signaling as a causative factor in the development of congenital diaphragmatic hernia

The Clugston lab is a safe space. Everyone is welcome. Vitamin A is an essential micronutrient regardless of sex, race, gender, sexual orientation, ethnicity, and perspective, we like to keep the lab that way too.

#Greenlab! The Clugston lab has a Gold level Green Spaces certification from the University of Alberta's Office of Energy Management and Sustainable Operations. In addition to trying to make the lab a greener work place we also promote sustainability outside of the lab. For example, Dr. Clugston is a dedicated bike commuter, even in the winter months. Brrrrr!
