Breaking boundaries in water research

New study with Water Institute member Dr. Jozef Nissimov, is the first to show experimentally that viral infections can trigger significant toxin release from harmful algae.

After long winters, Canadians love their summers. For some, that means summer vacations by a lake, along a river or on a bay for some much-needed rest and relaxation. For some, it’s time to disconnect at the dock, while for others it’s a time to cruise the lake or enjoy the thrill of water-skiing, tubing and wake-boarding.

The Water Institute is proud to celebrate Bhaleka Persaud, who earned 3rd place in the 2025 WDS Data Stewardship Awards.
