Congratulations to CBB member, Professor Juewen Liu for being recognised as part of the top 1% of scientists for the first time, on the exclusive
Stanford University recently published a comprehensive list identifying the top 2% of scientists worldwide. The list provides a ranking of 100,000 top scientists using citation metrics to determine the relevance and importance of a given research topic. Congratulations to the 36 CBB members who have been recognized as part of these top scientists:
Congratulations to Professor Norman Zhou, who has been recognised nationally as the winner of the prestigious Synergy Award for Innovation from the Natural Sciences and Engineering Research Council of Canada (NSERC)
Shirley Tang, a CBB member and professor in the Department of Chemistry, has been named among the top 100 most powerful women in Canada for her research impact and empowering women in STEM by the Women’s Executive Network (WXN).
Dr. Vivek Goel is recognized in Canada and around the world as a leading public-health researcher, health-services evaluation expert, and champion for the use of research evidence in health policy making.
He also currently serves on the boards of the Vector Institute, TRIUMF, the Canadian Institute for Health Information, Canada Health Labs, and the Post Promise.
For the first time, a team led by engineers at the University of Waterloo used laser imaging technology to almost instantly identify cancerous tissue with accuracy comparable to laboratory tests that take up to two weeks.
That means the Photoacoustic Remote Sensing (PARS) imaging system could tell doctors where a tumor ends and healthy tissue begins so they know exactly where to cut.
Digital X-ray technology developed by a University of Waterloo spinoff company has won approval from Health Canada.
A medical device licence issued for Reveal 35C, a dual-energy X-ray detector created by KA Imaging, follows clearance from the Food and Drug Administration in the United States earlier this month.
New technology can quickly and accurately monitor glucose levels in people with diabetes without painful finger pricks to draw blood.
A palm-sized device developed by researchers at the University of Waterloo uses radar and artificial intelligence (AI) to non-invasively read blood inside the human body.
Researchers at the University of Waterloo are developing a DNA-based vaccine that can be delivered through a nasal spray.
The vaccine will work by using bacteriophage, a process that will allow the vaccine to replicate within bacteria already in the body and is being designed to target tissues in the nasal cavity and lower respiratory tract.
