Professor Rodrigo Fernandez-Gonzalez and his team study how cells coordinate to shape and repair tissues. Using live imaging and bioengineering tools in fruit fly embryos, they uncover how cells move, communicate, and generate forces to heal wounds and form organs like the heart. Their discoveries could lead to new ways to promote healing and improve regenerative medicine.
AI tool improves accuracy and efficiency in microscopy image analysis Professor Rodrigo Fernandez-Gonzalez (pictured middle) at the University of Toronto’s Institute of Biomedical Engineering (BME) have developed a new artificial […]
24 BME graduate students receive Ontario Graduate Scholarships The OGS is a merit-based scholarship that supports graduate students pursuing excellence in academic research across disciplines at publicly funded universities in […]
The Discovery Grant program supports researchers exploring new frontiers to address critical challenges, including environmental protection, food security, and sustainable construction in cold climates. It seeks to sustain a diverse and high-quality research ecosystem in the natural sciences and engineering at Canadian universities, foster excellence, and create an engaging environment for research training.
Researchers at U of T have determined that immunosuppressants used with transplant recipients slow wound repair by inhibiting the growth of cells adjacent to wounds. They have found ways to restore rapid wound repair in an in vivo animal model.
On July 1st, 2023, Drs. Hai-Ling Margaret Cheng and Rodrigo Fernandez-Gonzalez were promoted to Full Professor at the Institute of Biomedical Engineering (BME). This promotion was based on their research, teaching & education, and administrative service.
Researchers at the University of Toronto and the Ted Rogers Centre for Heart Research have identified a previously unknown mechanism that governs the movement of cardiac progenitors during heart development in fruit fly embryos. By using advanced imaging techniques, mathematical modelling and genetic and biophysical manipulations, Dr. Rodrigo Fernandez-Gonzalez and colleagues shed light on the formation of the early heart tube and provide insights into the cellular causes of congenital heart defects.
Researchers at the University of Toronto have made progress in understanding the intricate cellular processes involved in tissue development and repair. The findings, published in the journal Current Biology, shed light on the mechanisms underlying collective cell migration, a fundamental behavior that plays a crucial role in both normal embryo development and pathological conditions such as cancer metastasis.
Dr. Rodrigo Fernandez-Gonzalez was one of the BME faculty members awarded the Canadian Research Chair this year.
Drs. Alison McGuigan and Rodrigo Fernandez-Gonzalez received Data Science Institute Catalyst Grant, co-funded by Medicine by Design, on their work on bioimaging on cancer treatments.
