Christopher P. Chanway

Christopher P. Chanway received the B.S. degree from The University of Winnipeg, Canada, in 1978, and the B.S. degree in agriculture from the University of Manitoba in 1980. He also received the M.S. and Ph.D. degrees from the University of British Columbia, Canada, in 1983 and 1987, respectively. Dr. Chanway was a Research Associate at the National Research Council of Canada Plant Biotechnology Institute at Saskatoon, Canada, in 1987, before joining the Department of Forest Sciences at the University of British Columbia as an Assistant Professor in 1988. He was cross-appointed at the Faculty of Land and Food Systems at the University of British Columbia in 1995, and he is currently a Professor at the Department of Forest Sciences, Faculty of Forestry, as well as in the Agroecology Program, Faculty of Land and Food Systems, University of British Columbia. Dr. Chanway has previously served as an Associate Editor for the Canadian Journal of Microbiology. His research interests focus on microbial ecology and plant bacteriology and include symbiotic and asymbiotic nitrogen fixation, endophytic bacteria, and plant growth promoting rhizobacteria (PGPR).
