An internationally recognized researcher renowned for his leading-edge work in molecular and materials chemistry is joining faculty at the 番茄社区 as a Canada 150 research chair.
Four Canadian universities. Eight researchers. One goal: improve the way therapeutic drugs are delivered in the human body while diversifying the skillset of a new generation of researchers to build on that work in the academic and private sectors.
Two major training grants to the 番茄社区 totaling $3.3 million will strengthen research collaboration and train a new generation of skilled researchers for Canada's emerging tech sectors in astronomy instrumentation and drug delivery.
UVic's three new Canada Research Chairs鈥攁nnounced in May and early November鈥攁re doing scientific research that cuts to the heart of issues related to human health and safety.
UVic chemist Armita Dash is in Ottawa today to talk to parliamentarians and senior government officials about her innovative approach to early concussion diagnosis. Dash's research provides an early detection method of diagnosing concussion or traumatic brain injury through the use of nanotechnology.
A UVic chemist has developed a breakthrough material that will make computers and smartphones faster, more durable and more energy-efficient. The new material allows computer chips to exist at a molecular level, with a technology known as light-induced magnetoresistive random-access memory (LI-RAM).
鈥婽wo UVic professors whose efforts to infuse their teaching and research with lessons from the Holocaust are among 10 faculty members and three graduate students receiving top awards at the university鈥檚 inaugural REACH Awards.
Sarah Khan has a distinctive definition of the word "leadership," the quality for which she was recently awarded a prestigious 3M National Student Fellowship. Every project that Khan takes on is a piece of a puzzle that fits into her ultimate goal of becoming a family physician.
This May, an inaugural event鈥攖he REACH Awards鈥攚ill combine the Teaching Excellence Awards with the Craigdarroch Research Awards into a single event that celebrates the extraordinary teachers and researchers who lead the way in dynamic learning and make a vital impact at UVic, in the classroom and beyond.

With BC's drug overdose epidemic reaching record levels, health care providers are seeking new methods and tools to contain the crisis. UVic's biophysical chemist Dennis Hore has been working to develop an inexpensive mobile device to assist frontline health workers when assisting drug users.
Twenty years ago, the Canada Foundation for Innovation (CFI) was created to provide funding for the tools--the labs, facilities and equipment--that Canadian researchers need to move ideas, discoveries and inventions forward for the benefit of society and the world around us.
A project co-led by UVic biochemist Christoph Borchers will use more than $3.8 million in new funding from Genome Canada to make mouse models more powerful and meaningful to the study of health and disease. Also funded is UVic chemist Fraser Hof, who receives $238,800 to investigate 鈥渕ethylation鈥濃�攖he smallest form of biochemical control switch.
A research group at the 番茄社区 can now detect the presence of invasive species in water or soil using environmental DNA鈥攇iving humans a better chance at defending the ecological balance of delicate habitat.
UVic's Fraser Hof, a medicinal chemist, is working with scientists at Phillips Brewing and Malting Co. to improve commercial brewing processes. The collaboration aims to develop a precise method of identifying when brewer's yeast has been "exhausted" and can no longer be reused.
