A U of T Engineering research team has created a new platform that delivers multiple therapeutic proteins to the body, each at its own independently controlled rate. The innovation could help treat degenerative diseases such as age-related macular degeneration (AMD), the leading cause of vision loss for people over 50.
A team of U of T Engineering researchers, led by Professor Molly Shoichet (ChemE, BME, Donnelly), has designed a new way to grow cells in a laboratory that enables them to better emulate cancerous tumours.
Having exposure to biomedical sciences at a young age, Amber Xue continued her passion for clinical research at Molly Shoichet’s lab. She is also actively engaged in knowledge translation from academia to industry.
Erik Jacques was one of the recipients of the Wake Forest Institute for Regenerative Medicine Young Investigator Award.
U of T Engineering researchers have grown a small-scale model of a human left heart ventricle in the lab. The bioartificial tissue construct is made with living heart cells and beats strongly enough to pump fluid inside a bioreactor.
Professor Lueder Alexander Kahrs has officially joined the Department of Mathematical and Computer Sciences at the University of Toronto Mississauga (UTM) and the Institute of Biomedical Engineering (BME) as an Assistant Professor on July 1st, 2022.
