The Snutch Lab at Michael Smith Laboratories, affiliated with the University of British Columbia, focuses on understanding the molecular mechanisms of signal transduction in the nervous system and their connections to various neurological disorders. Their multidisciplinary research delves into the characteristics of ion channels and addresses conditions such as epilepsy, chronic migraine, traumatic brain injury, autism, and chronic pain.

In addition to advancing new CNS-active drugs into clinical application, the lab plays a crucial role in public health efforts, notably leading the Canadian COVID-19 Genomics Network initiative. This collaborative project has facilitated extensive genomic sequencing of the SARS-CoV-2 virus, significantly contributing to vaccine development and epidemiological tracking of COVID-19 cases across Canada.
