Join an interdisciplinary team of undergraduate students to develop a synthetic biology project over the course of a year. We spend the winter semester on design, planning wet lab/dry lab projects, as well as related initiatives under our education, media, outreach, entrepreneurship, and finance subteams. The summer is then dedicated to full time wet lab (or dry lab) work. We are particularly interested in recruiting applicants with experience in either wet lab or dry lab work to lead those projects.</p> Wed, 29 Jan 2025 14:18:18 +0000 admin 1997 at /chemeng Quebec government awards $1.6 million to ºÚÁϲ»´òìÈ researchers providing innovative solutions for industry /chemeng/channels/news/quebec-government-awards-16-million-mcgill-researchers-providing-innovative-solutions-industry-362124 <div> <p><em><strong><span><span><span>ºÚÁϲ»´òìÈ-led projects in genomics, imaging,<span> and manufacturing<span> <span>serve<span> businesses across Quebec<span> </span></span></span></span></span></span></span></span></strong></em></p></div> Mon, 16 Dec 2024 14:55:57 +0000 admin 2006 at /chemeng Two ºÚÁϲ»´òìÈ researchers win 2024 Prix du Québec honours /chemeng/channels/news/two-mcgill-researchers-win-2024-prix-du-quebec-honours-360619 <p><em>Professors recognized for work on war-affected children and families, development of ‘intelligent’ fabrics</em></p> <p>Two ºÚÁϲ»´òìÈ researchers won Prix du Québec, the highest honours awarded by the Quebec government in the fields of culture and science.</p> <p><a href="/socialwork/about/people/faculty/denov">Myriam Denov</a>, Professor in ºÚÁϲ»´òìÈ’s School of Social Work won the <a href="https://prixduquebec.gouv.qc.ca/">Prix du Québec</a>’s Marie-Andrée-Bertrand Prize for social innovation.</p> Tue, 22 Oct 2024 15:47:10 +0000 admin 2018 at /chemeng Prof. Ehrlicher receives prestigious CIHR Project Grant /chemeng/channels/news/prof-ehrlicher-receives-prestigious-cihr-project-grant-363682 <p>The Department of Bioengineering would like to congratulate Professor Allen Ehrlicher for his recent CIHR Project Grant. Professor Ehrlicher's project aims to explore how mechanical forces, such as compression of the nucleus, affect cellular aging and stem cell differentiation, particularly in Hutchinson-Gilford Progeria Syndrome (HGPS). In HGPS, accelerated aging and organ defects occur, including impaired fat tissue differentiation. Researchers found that nucleus compression activates Yes Associated Protein (YAP), which slows aging and promotes bone formation from stem cells.</p> Mon, 17 Feb 2025 14:04:56 +0000 admin 1996 at /chemeng Dominique Bérubé awarded King Charles III Coronation Medal /chemeng/channels/news/dominique-berube-awarded-king-charles-iii-coronation-medal-362136 <p><em><strong><span><span><span><span>ºÚÁϲ»´òìÈ’s Vice-President of Research and Innovation recognized for transformative leadership in Canadian research</span></span></span></span></strong></em></p> Mon, 16 Dec 2024 21:37:56 +0000 admin 2004 at /chemeng ºÚÁϲ»´òìÈ iGEM Achieves Gold Medal and Three Nominations at the Grand Jamboree /chemeng/channels/news/mcgill-igem-achieves-gold-medal-and-three-nominations-grand-jamboree-362368 <p>ºÚÁϲ»´òìÈ IGEM team proudly secured a gold medal along with three nominations for Best Diagnostics, Best Software, and Best Parts Collection at the International Genetically Engineered Machine (iGEM) Grand Jamboree in October 2024.
