DAVID W. LESCHEID B.Sc., PhD, ND B.Sc. (Biology),
Simon Fraser University, 1989 Associate Professor, Basic Sciences David Lescheid’s scholarly achievements were recognized with two graduation awards: the Founders Scholarship, for highest academic achievement throughout the four-year program and the Governor's Medal of Excellence, for outstanding academic and clinical performance. Dr. Lescheid joined the academic faculty at CCNM in September 2002. He is currently a full-time associate professor teaching medical microbiology and infectious disease as well as human physiology. He is also a supervising naturopathic doctor in CCNM's teaching clinic. In addition, Lescheid practises naturopathic medicine in an integrative health clinic in North York, Ontario. Previous Appointments 1990-1997 University of Victoria lab instructor in third and fourth-year genetics, cell biology and animal physiology labs and lecturer in a fourth-year molecular endocrinology class. University of Victoria research assistant in a molecular biology lab with experience in PCR, cloning, DNA sequencing, genomic library construction and screening, HPLC, RIA, and ELISA.
