Chemistry’s year in review

It has been an exciting year in Chemistry, with the department welcoming several new faces to its dynamic team. As we close the year, we are also saying goodbye to some beloved colleagues who are taking on their next challenge: retirement!

The 2024 FemTech Innovation Challenge hosted by Velocity took place between October 28th and November 8th. SCBUS student, Disha Patel, and her teammates, Varsha Prasad, Maithily Kadam and Rifzah Ahmed formed one of the eight final-pitch teams. Here, they pitched SenseHer, a therapeutic bra designed to support women recovering from breast cancer treatment.  

Dr. Travis Craddock aims to find new insights into our scientific understanding and potential treatments of Neuroinflammatory diseases, including Alzheimer’s disease and Parkinson’s disease. During the latest installment of Science’s New Faculty Lecture Series, Craddock shared his research goals with alumni, students, faculty, and members of the Waterloo community.
