The Royal Society of Canada welcomes Drs. Ihab Ilyas and Laura Hug as part of the latest cohort of fellows and RSC College members.
This week, students and faculty in the Department of Biology gathered to celebrate the accomplishments of their colleagues at the 2024 Biology Awards.
The Faculty of Science mourns the loss of Geoffrey Power, former Biology department chair and one of the department's founders.
Professor Brian Dixon and a team of researchers have been awarded a grant of $1,598,510 as part of the InnovetAMR international funding call, jointly supported by the International Development Research Centre and UK AID.
Two co-op students from the Faculty of Science have made a big impact during a recent work term at the SickKids Research Institute. Murto Hilali and Kritika Grover are using AI as a tool to understand cerebral palsy — and their efforts have earned them recognition as contributing authors in an upcoming paper published in Nature Genetics.
Congratulations to Josh D. Neufeld for receiving OUSA’s Teaching Excellence Award! Biology and WUSA thanks you for exhibiting and encouraging teaching excellence on campus!

University of Waterloo PhD student, Jackson Tsuji (BSc ’15, PhD ’20), had a poorly growing bacterial sample he wasn’t ready to give up on, which ultimately led to a once-in-a-lifetime finding that could change how scientists view photosynthesis and its origins.
Congratulations to Rebecca Rooney for being awarded the 2024 Leadership Award by Canada’s Invasive Species Centre. The Invasive Species Centre is a hub for collaboration and knowledge sharing, aiming to prevent the introduction and spread of high-risk invasive species in Canada by connecting stakeholders with knowledge and technology.
The STEM With Disabilities project, created by Emma Collington (BSc '19, MSc '22, current PhD student in the Department of Biology) and Samantha Fowler (BSc '19, Science valedictorian), aims to connect people withdisabilities in STEM, and celebrate their achievements and contributions to their fields. The online campaign launched in May 2023 with an ongoing series of interviews showcasing the authentic stories of people with disabilities in STEM.
