Paul Chen, a PhD candidate supervised by Prof. Frank Gu, has been awarded a prestigious Vanier Canada Graduate Scholarship. His research involves the application of gold nano-particles for detection and identification of pathogens that cause infectious disease.
ABSTRACT: Truly rational design has been a major goal of bioengineering for some time. And while certain aspects of genetic engineering have become more predictable, the need for information about cellular behaviour has only continued to grow. The availability of genomic, transcriptomic, and metabolomic data has opened the door to the synthesis of multiple levels of information in biological research.
Prof. Zhongwei Chen has received $3 million in funding to further his work into greener, cheaper, more energy-efficient silicon-based batteries.

ABSTRACT: While we have isolated and regenerated celluloses for textile applications since the turn of the century (e.g. viscose), nature continues to offer new insights into how we could reintegrate biodiversity and heterogeneity into cellulose-based materials as a means of modulating its physico-chemical properties. Cellulose is one of the most abundant organic polymers on earth and serves as an important structural component of the cell walls of plants.
