Seminar - “Valorization of Waste Protein Biomass for Bio-based Plastics, Composites and Adhesives Development” by Tizazu Mekonnen, Polymer Engineering Scientist, E.I. DuPont

ABSTRACT: The increasing demand, cost escalation and environmental impact of raw materials for industrial chemicals, materials, and energy production impel the development of sustainable strategies for resource utilization. Such sustainable resource demand spurred investigation for the utilization of agricultural and forestry wastes and by-products. The emergence of bovine spongiform encephalopathy reduced most of the traditional uses of rendered animal meals such as blood meal, meat, and bone meal as animal feed, effectively making it an industrial waste.

Seminar - “Heart-on-a-plate for Drug Discovery and Disease Modeling” by Milica Radisic, Department of Chemical Engineering & Applied Chemistry, University of Toronto

ABSTRACT:  The current drug development process is both very slow (15 year average) and costly ($1.5B/drug average). Despite this hefty investment, inefficiencies in the drug screening process routinely result in the withdrawal of drugs from the market due to serious toxicities and adverse cardiovascular effects. Safety screen assessments performed on cell cultures and animal models do not always correlate with clinical risk.
