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.
The UVic-led Advanced Rare Isotope Laboratory (ARIEL) at TRIUMF, Canada鈥檚 national laboratory for particle and nuclear physics, received $8.7 million from the BC Knowledge Development Fund in October. ARIEL expansion will lead to advances in medical imaging for diseases such as cancer, new technologies and materials for industry, and fresh insights into the fundamental nature of matter.
On Oct. 6, the BC Government announced funding to UVic's West Coast Wave Initiative (WCWI) to support research into the potential of ocean waves to generate clean, renewable and affordable electricity. Since its inception in 2009, WCWI has grown to become the centre of Canadian wave energy research and development.
The BC Government announced funding today to the West Coast Wave Initiative at UVic to support research into the potential of ocean waves to generate clean, renewable and affordable electricity. The Ministry of Energy and Mines is providing $150,000 to purchase a new wave energy measurement buoy.
The BC government has invested $8.7 million in a UVic-led, national initiative to bolster Canada鈥檚 world-class rare isotope capabilities. The contribution from the BC Knowledge Development Fund supports TRIUMF鈥檚 Advanced Rare Isotope Laboratory, a two-phase multidisciplinary research facility that will advance our fundamental understanding of the world in which we live.
We use gold for jewelry, tooth fillings and Olympic medals颅鈥攁nd soon for Zika detection. UVic chemist Alex Brolo is working with the precious metal to provide a faster (and inexpensive) way to diagnose devastating viruses such as Zika and dengue fever. Brolo is developing new ways to use gold nanostructures in medical applications.
It's full-speed ahead for a new software platform that builds on the world-leading data management system of the UVic's Ocean Networks Canada (ONC) thanks to federal funding announced today at UVic.
Two students who show promise as outstanding scholars and young leaders are this year's recipients of the prestigious Schulich Leader Scholarships as they enter their first year of studies at the 番茄社区.
Battling parasite-borne disease and improving family fitness are the goals of two 番茄社区 projects recently awarded funding from the Canadian Institutes of Health Research (CIHR). With his seven-year, $959,663 foundation grant, exercise psychologist Ryan Rhodes will explore how parental support can move good intentions about exercise into actions for the entire family. UVic biochemist Martin Boulanger will use his five-year $825,000 project grant to continue research into how Apicomplexa鈥攖he group of single-celled parasites that cause toxoplasmosis and severe malaria鈥攊nvade host cells.
A new diagnostic test to determine whether cancer patients should respond well to a specific targeted drug therapy is the goal of a project awarded funding from Genome Canada.
