She redesigned these courses to include new chemistry content and engineering concepts, and to create better linkages between the two. She also improved the alignment between lectures and labs to provide students with more opportunities to transfer and apply what they’ve learned.</p> <p>Through her research program, Farmer creates projects that allow students to be active partners in the design of lab curriculum. She has supervised 17 undergraduates and six graduate students in various projects related to curriculum development.</p> <p>“Professor Farmer’s work in modernizing [the department of chemical engineering]'s laboratory curriculum and facilities, as well as her efforts to ensure that her students are active participants in this work, have provided students with inspiring new learning opportunities,” said Professor <strong>Christopher Yip</strong>, dean of the Faculty of Applied Science &amp; Engineering.&nbsp;</p> <p>“On behalf of the faculty, congratulations to Professor Farmer on this well-deserved honour.”&nbsp;</p> <h3><a href="http://Read the 91Թ Engineering story">Read the 91Թ Engineering story</a></h3> </div> <div class="field field--name-field-source field--type-string field--label-hidden field__item">Engineering</div> <div class="field field--name-field-top-story-hub-page- field--type-boolean field--label-above"> <div class="field__label">Top Story (Hub page)</div> <div class="field__item">Off</div> </div> Fri, 07 Jun 2024 14:25:54 +0000 rahul.kalvapalle 308110 at Three Faculty of Arts & Science researchers honoured by American Geophysical Union /celebrates/three-faculty-arts-science-researchers-honoured-american-geophysical-union <span class="field field--name-title field--type-string field--label-hidden">Three Faculty of Arts &amp;

The <a href="https://www.c2020hub.ca/">C20/20 Innovation Hub</a>&nbsp;– led by scientific director&nbsp;<strong>Heather Sheardown</strong>, dean of the Faculty of Engineering at McMaster University – was recognized for leading the development of novel treatment methods for eye diseases like glaucoma, retinal neovascular disease and myopia.&nbsp;</p> <p>“To say that we are honoured would be an understatement. We are electrified, inspired and immensely grateful for this recognition,” said Gu, a professor in the department of chemical engineering in the Faculty of Applied Science &amp; Engineering whose research includes engineering nanomedicines to achieve long-lasting delivery of therapeutic agents used in eye drops to treat glaucoma.</p> <p>Gu says the funding will enable his lab to deepen their understanding of nanostructured materials that can be customized for drug delivery applications. “The ultimate goal of my contribution to the team research is to lead to the development of novel therapeutics to delay or prevent irreversible blindness caused by glaucoma.”&nbsp;&nbsp;</p> <p>Wong, ophthalmologist in chief at St. Michael’s Hospital at Unity Health Toronto and associate professor in the department of ophthalmology and vision sciences in the Temerty Faculty of Medicine, said it was “a true honour” for the C20/20 Innovation Hub to be recognized by NSERC.</p> <p>“I am very proud of our team led by Dr. Heather Sheardown,” said Wong.&nbsp;“The interdisciplinary approach has been key to building useful ocular biomaterials. It is the art of the possible: a need defined by clinicians with engineers and scientists determining what is possible to make.</p> <p>“The trans-pollination of information between our disciplines&nbsp;gives us solutions, but also raises new questions and destinies to discover. More collaboration and less silos will further benefit mankind – and the Brockhouse award will help foster this.”</p> <p>NSERC also recognized two 91Թ researchers with Arthur B.

Her lab is using these biomaterials to discover<a href="https://news.engineering.utoronto.ca/u-of-t-researchers-develop-piggyback-vehicle-to-escape-the-endosomal-trap-and-deliver-rna-therapeutics/"> drugs for breast and brain cancer</a> and <a href="https://news.engineering.utoronto.ca/artificial-lung-cancer-tissue-could-help-find-new-drug-treatments/">a rare lung disease</a>.</p> <p>“What’s really wonderful for me in getting this Herzberg Gold Medal is the recognition of the importance of interdisciplinary research, and the recognition of the team –&nbsp;of the brilliant graduate and undergraduate students, post-doctoral fellows, technicians and collaborators with whom I have the privilege to work,” Shoichet said.</p> <p>Shoichet’s lab has been equally innovative in regenerative medicine strategies to promote <a href="https://news.engineering.utoronto.ca/re-engineered-enzyme-could-help-reverse-damage-from-spinal-cord-injury-and-stroke/">repair of the brain after stroke</a> and <a href="https://news.engineering.utoronto.ca/u-of-t-engineering-researchers-develop-cell-injection-technique-that-could-help-reverse-vision-loss/">overcome blindness</a>.&nbsp;</p> <p>Professor <strong>Chris Yip</strong>, dean of 91Թ Engineering called Shoichet “a trailblazer and an inspiration to the engineering and science community, here at 91Թ, across the country and around the world.</p> <p>“Her research continues to advance knowledge towards practical, and incredibly vital, applications in human health,” Yip said. “On behalf of the Faculty, my enthusiastic congratulations to Molly on receiving this tremendous honour.”</p> <p>“The 91Թ is delighted to see University Professor Molly Shoichet’s ground-breaking work, her leadership and innovation recognized with Canada’s highest honour for science and engineering research,” said University Professor <strong>Ted Sargent</strong>, 91Թ’s vice-president, research and innovation, and strategic initiatives. “She has been a passionate advocate for science, generously sharing her expertise with federal and provincial governments, colleagues and students – and her contributions to the cancer community have made a significant impact in Canada and around the world.”</p> <h3><a href="https://news.engineering.utoronto.ca/molly-shoichet-receives-gerhard-herzberg-canada-gold-medal-canadas-highest-honour-for-science-and-engineering-research/?_ga=2.51352297.1716347914.1604930057-712784579.1561506827">Read the Faculty of Applied Science &amp; Engineering story</a></h3> <h3><a href="https://www.cbc.ca/news/technology/herzberg-2020-shoichet-1.5795495">Read the CBC story</a></h3> </div> <div class="field field--name-field-source field--type-string field--label-hidden field__item">Engineering</div> <div class="field field--name-field-top-story-hub-page- field--type-boolean field--label-above"> <div class="field__label">Top Story (Hub page)</div> <div class="field__item">Off</div> </div> Tue, 10 Nov 2020 18:21:10 +0000 lanthierj 166343 at
