Welcome to Rourke Lab
The Rourke Lab is located at Mount Allison University in Sackville, New Brunswick, Canada on the unceded traditional lands of the Mi'kmaq Peoples. Our lab has a variety of research interests, including G protein-coupled receptors (GPCRs) and their roles in cell signaling and function. We also explore aspects of nanotoxicology and endocrinology, including hormone secretion with implications in obesity and diabetes.
