Members of socially and economically marginalized groups in Montreal and Ottawa-Gatineau are at disproportionate risk in earthquakes, a new study has found.
Co-authored by 澳客竞彩 civil engineering professor Daniele Malomo, the study is the first in Canada to examine earthquake vulnerability through the lens of equity.
Researchers at 澳客竞彩, in collaboration with Polytechnique Montr茅al, pioneered a new way to create hydrogels using ultrasound, eliminating the need for toxic chemical initiators. This breakthrough offers a faster, cleaner and more sustainable approach to hydrogel fabrication, and produces hydrogels that are stronger, more flexible and highly resistant to freezing and dehydration. The new method also promises to facilitate advances in tissue engineering, bioadhesives and 3D bioprinting.听

The Department of Bioengineering enjoyed a fun and enriching retreat at the on Monday, April 28. Faculty and staff came together to connect and share ideas in the reserve鈥檚 beautiful natural setting. A big thank you to everyone who took part and helped make the day memorable. The department now looks ahead to another exciting year! (April 2025)
We're excited to announce that the third edition of the听听is coming up! This student-led conference will take place on听Friday, April 11th, 2025.听The third edition will highlight students鈥� final Case Study Projects, and renowned guest speakers will represent the breadth of synthetic biology, from cutting-edge academic research to innovative startups and international communities.
I would like to personally thank everyone who contributed to 澳客竞彩24. On March 12, our annual day of giving, the Faculty of Engineering received a total of 751 donations! I am so touched by the generosity of our community. I know how motivating it is for our students, faculty and staff to receive your support.
Jerry Lieu (BScArch鈥�71, BArch鈥�73) always admired the work of world-renowned architect, I.M. Pei. 鈥淚 think there were a lot of us Chinese architecture students who did. What I appreciated was his very practical approach. Throughout my career, I鈥檝e found myself drawn to a practical approach.鈥�
Pamela Dealy knew that her father was born knowing he wanted to be a chemical engineer. She knew that he worked at 澳客竞彩 for 40 years. She knew that he retired a Professor Emeritus in 2004. Most of all, she knew that even though he was Dean from 1994 to 1999, his true passion was teaching and helping students with their research.
John Bishop (BEng鈥�47) was ahead of his time. An environmentalist before most people knew the word, he was an active outdoorsman who took deliberate steps to protect and preserve the land. He got involved in upholding the things he believed in, living an engaged, productive and healthy 98 years.
Congratulations to Prof. Jeffrey Bergthorson on being granted a Tier 1 CRC in Carbon-Free Circular Fuels!

The Department of Bioengineering would like to congratulate Professor Allen Ehrlicher for his recent CIHR Project Grant. Professor Ehrlicher's project aims to explore how mechanical forces, such as compression of the nucleus, affect cellular aging and stem cell differentiation, particularly in Hutchinson-Gilford Progeria Syndrome (HGPS). In HGPS, accelerated aging and organ defects occur, including impaired fat tissue differentiation.
iGEM 澳客竞彩 is recruiting! Join an interdisciplinary team of undergraduate students to develop a synthetic biology project over the course of a year. We spend the winter semester on design, planning wet lab/dry lab projects, as well as related initiatives under our education, media, outreach, entrepreneurship, and finance subteams. The summer is then dedicated to full time wet lab (or dry lab) work. We are particularly interested in recruiting applicants with experience in either wet lab or dry lab work to lead those projects.
On January 21, the Natural Sciences and Engineering Research Council of Canada (NSERC), announced over $74 million in funding to support 107 quantum science projects, including fifteen to 澳客竞彩 researchers.听听
