Harris, Cory - University of Ottawa - Department of Biology

研究领域

Dr. Harris' research combines laboratory, field and community-based approaches to study the roles of plants in human and ecological health. His research explores the ethnobotany, chemistry and bioactivity of plants with a current emphasis on native Canadian species used for food and medicine. Together with Inuit and First Nations communities as well as the private and public sectors, some of the ongoing projects include: health benefits (and risks) of wild plant foods, the antidiabetic and neuroprotective potential of berries, the chemical ecology of coneflower alkylamides, and the ethical and evidence-based use of alternative medicines by mainstream healthcare providers.
