+PRECISE +PERFORMANCE The goal of this project is to develop a compact, high-flux femtosecond X-ray source covering the spectral keV range as well as new methods for the spatial and temporal characterization of the X-ray. Over the past three years, Professor Légaré’s...
+SMALL +PRECISE Polymersomes (the synthetic equivalent of liposomes) are nanometer scale containers with a polymeric membrane which encloses an aqueous interior (for example a drug) before its release. Prof. Eisenberg’s team have put together a new polymersome...
+PRECISE +EFFICIENT A key goal of research in the Buschmann and Hoemann groups is to develop technologies based on combining nanostructured polymers with blood components to create hybrid biomaterials for use in repairing joint tissues such as meniscus and cartilage,...
+PRECISE +EFFECTIVE Quantum dots are semiconducting particles used in ex-vivo fluorescence biomedical imaging. To consider their in-vivo use, it is necessary to make them more specific (i.e. control their binding to biological ligands) and improve their colloidal...
+RAPID +EFFICIENT Modern medicine is moving towards personalized treatment schedules, requiring analytical tools to monitor the response of patients during treatment. Chemotherapy patients are currently administered cocktails of drugs according to a schedule...
