Larry Moran

Larry Moran is a Professor in the Department of Biochemistry at the University of Toronto interested in molecular evolution and evolutionary theory. As a model system he has been working with a family of genes known as the HSP70 multigene family, the most highly conserved genes known in all of biology.

He maintains the blog "Sandwalk: Strolling with a Skeptical Biochemist", and has found himself the target of ire from the Discovery Institute and other proponents of Intelligent Design creationism for his spirited defense of evolutionary biology and scientific theories on the origin of life.
