Dear members of the 看片视频 community,
I am pleased to announce the appointment of Professor Tony Mittermaier as the Interim Dean of Students, effective today. Prof. Mittermaier brings with him an extensive academic background and a dedication to fostering student success and wellbeing within the 看片视频 community.
Prof. Mittermaier obtained his B.Sc. in biophysics at the University of Guelph and a Ph.D. in biochemistry at the University of Toronto. He has been a member of 看片视频鈥檚 Department of Chemistry in the Faculty of Science since 2005, where he is currently a full professor.
His cutting-edge research blends biophysical techniques, such as calorimetry and NMR spectroscopy, to explore fundamental molecular mechanisms that govern protein and nucleic acid function. His work also extends to drug design, aiming to uncover critical insights into biomolecular interactions at the atomic level. Additionally, Prof. Mittermaier leads a laboratory focused on biomolecular structure, function, and dynamics, where new tools are developed to advance our understanding of biological macromolecules. In recognition of his contributions to chemical biology, he was awarded the Chemical Biology/Medicinal Chemistry Lectureship award by the Canadian Society for Chemistry in 2021.
Since 2020, Prof. Mittermaier has served as Associate Dean (Student Affairs) in the Faculty of Science, where he has championed student wellbeing and academic success.
I would also like to extend my gratitude to Prof. Robin Beech who has served as Dean of Students since November 2020. Prof. Beech鈥檚 tenure was marked by a steadfast commitment to all 看片视频 students.
As 看片视频 transitions to new leadership within the Dean of Student鈥檚 office, I am confident that Prof. Mittermaier鈥檚 experience and vision will make a lasting impact on the student community.

With best regards,
Christopher Manfredi
Provost and Executive Vice-President (Academic)
