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 3816 at /wie /wie/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 3824 at /wie /wie/channels/news/odile-liboiron-ladouceur-associate-professor-has-been-awarded-recognition-photonics100-2025-360930 <p>Congratulations go to Professor Odile Liboiron-Ladouceur, who has been awarded the recognition of Photonics100 of 2025.</p> Tue, 05 Nov 2024 17:26:20 +0000 admin 3813 at /wie /wie/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 3815 at /wie /wie/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 3822 at /wie /wie/channels/news/fifteen-new-or-renewed-canada-research-chairs-awarded-mcgill-361164 <div> <div> <p><em><strong><span><span><span><span>$<span>13.8<span><span> <span><span>million <span>in federal funding <span>for<span> <span>ºÚÁϲ»´òìÈ’s cohort of <span>10 <span>new<span>,<span> five renewed Canada Research Chairs<span> </span></span></span></span></span></span></span></span></span></span></span></span></span></span></span></span></span></span></strong></em></p></div></div> Thu, 14 Nov 2024 17:05:33 +0000 admin 3833 at /wie /wie/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.
