He is currently involved in research to explore high conflict divorce and separation, parenting competency after divorce, the intersection of child welfare and custody disputes, and child protection mediation as an alternative to legal disputes within the child welfare context. He has published in the areas of evidence-based custody evaluations, factors of interparental high conflict, the treatment of anger and aggression, judicial decisions of joint custody, and parenting competency post divorce and separation. For the past 12 years, Dr. Saini has been completing custody and access assessments for the Office of the Children's Lawyer, Ministry of the Attorney General of Ontario. Dr. Saini was previously the manager of the Centre of Excellence for Child Welfare located at the Factor-Inwentash Faculty of Social Work.

Hargurdeep (Deep) Saini University of Toronto Vice-President & Principal Department of Biology University of Toronto at Mississauga 3359 Mississauga Road North Mississauga, Ontario Canada L5L 1C6 Toronto , Ottawa , Canada More Information ... ID : 519 My general research interests encompass the physiological, biochemical and molecular responses of plants to environmental stresses, defense mechanisms in plants and the application of biotechnology to improve plant tolerance against adverse environments. Our approach to research is multi-disciplinary and employs a wide array of analytical techniques and genetic manipulations to probe biological processes from cellular to whole-plant levels. Our current research is focused on the roles of thiol and halide methylation in plant metabolism and stress tolerance: 1.Thiol methylation: Several plant families, notably the Brassicaceae, accumulate sulfur-containing thioglucosides, glucosinolates, which, upon tissue-disruption through herbivory or infection, are degraded into a variety of toxic, defensive products. We have discovered thiol methyl transferase enzymes that apparently neutralize the products of glucosinolate hydrolysis once their defensive role has been accomplished (Fig. 1). We are investigating the biochemical and molecular regulation, cellular organization, and biological functions of these enzymes. 2.Halide methylation: Vast quantities of chloromethane (CH3Cl) are released into the atmosphere by biological sources. Production of CH3Cl via enzymatic methylation of Cl– ions has been viewed as a Cl– detoxification mechanism in saline environments. Thiol methyl transferase enzymes are also capable of methylating halides, including Cl–. We have isolated the genes encoding these enzymes and introduced these into plants that normally do not methylate halides. The efficiency of transgenic plants to methylate chloride, its implications for chloride detoxification and salinity tolerance, and its potential impact on atmospheric chloromethane budget are being evaluated.
