    Developing new tools to make it easier to rapidly assemble complex natural products: this research will address challenges for affordable health care by developing new tools that could lead to the creation of new drugs and new treatments for serious diseases.

    July 9, 2018

    Understanding how materials used in a range of engineering and manufacturing processes deform under stress and temperature fluctuations: the research helps scientists develop new materials and helps engineers better utilize these materials in their designs.

    July 9, 2018

    Understanding how proteins work and how to modify them by protein engineering: this research will lead to better sub-zero storage of cells, tissues, organs and foods as well as new drugs to decrease ischemic injury, and may also identify methods to prevent bacterial infections.

    July 9, 2018

    Investigating how organic compounds interact with metals in the synthesis of novel materials and development of highly active catalysts: this research will help to develop new catalysts that will be useful in producing pharmaceuticals and state-of-the-art biosensing applications.

    July 9, 2018

    Investigating how species adapt to new environments over short time periods (years or decades): this research will improve our tools for managing biological resources that are threatened by global change.

    July 9, 2018

    Investigating sustainable wastewater treatment strategies that have the potential for downstream recovery of biofuels: this research will lead to better bioresource management and contribute to a new generation of technologies for treating waste, residuals, and biomass feedstocks.

    July 9, 2018

    Applying Indigenous and Western knowledge systems to research involving social and environmental justice and health equity: this research aims to create healthier relationships between Indigenous peoples and Settler (non-Indigenous) Canadians by advancing recognition, responsibility and reconciliation in community-driven and participatory ways.

    July 9, 2018

    Developing new theories and methods to allow us to study the motion of molecules and chemical reactions: this research may lead to new life-saving drugs, better energy-storage devices, and new solutions to global warming, while also training researchers in advanced computational science techniques.

    July 9, 2018

    Discovering how disorders of mitochondrial structure occur and how they control vital cell functions, including cell division, programmed cell death, and metabolism: this research will lead to innovative therapies that target mitochondrial dynamics and the fission and fusion of mitochondria for the treatment of pulmonary arterial hypertension, heart attacks, and lung cancer.

    [Dr. John Smol]
    June 18, 2018

    As the world watches ice shelves crack and polar bears struggle to survive, climate change expert Dr. John Smol is using historical data collected from lakes to study the phenomenon.
