Less than 0.1 mL of blood is all that UVic researchers need, in an exciting commercial-academic partnership that has developed a 鈥済old standard鈥 test for COVID-19 using cutting-edge technology.
UVic microbiologist Caroline Cameron receives $2M grant from Open Philanthropy to develop a direct diagnostic test and vaccine for syphilis, one of the world鈥檚 first global diseases.
CIHR funds two critical brain health research projects: one to show how concussion causes cognitive impairment and another to understand the effects of alcohol and cannabis on the developing brain.
A miniaturized laboratory the size of a postage stamp could one day transform how scientists test potential drug treatments and diagnose disease.
Invisible worlds exist all around us. And UVic biology undergrad James Tyrwhitt-Drake has made it his mission to reveal the smallest of those worlds, with spectacular results. The invisibility of microscopic creatures, much like the perceptual invisibility that comes with the speedy flapping of a hummingbird鈥檚 wings, requires special equipment to capture and appreciate. For Tyrwhitt-Drake, that equipment is the scanning electron microscope (SEM) in UVic鈥檚 Advanced Microscopy Facility.
The world鈥檚 most powerful microscope, which resides in a specially constructed room at the 番茄社区, has now been fully assembled and tested, and has a lineup of scientists and businesses eager to use it.
