New valve gets to heart of implant issue via design
A Western researcher has teamed up with colleagues across the country to develop a next-generation heart valve that may provide patients with a safer, longer-lasting implant alternative thus greatly reducing complications after surgery, according to a new study released this week.
Western celebrates top teaching talent
Eleven winners, representing three different faculties, have been awarded Western’s highest honours for inspiring active and deep learning in their students.
Can you imagine that? And more.
Come and internalized the mind-blowing powers of Mary Poppins – and more – when Aleksander Essex takes a turn on Read. Watch. Listen.
Pilot program fills gaps in researcher training
In a political climate where division seems to be the norm and facts debatable, Western has gathered a group of 20 researchers to build rapport among each other whiling polishing the skills necessary to be global thought leaders.
Challenge winners build bridges to better lives
Civil Engineering students Karn Kalra, Jackson Chin and Andrew Bebnowski form the winning team of the Western World’s Challenge Challenge for their idea for building bridges to link isolated communities in rural Bolivia.
Plaques honour research, advocacy legacy
The past continues to be on display across campus as the Centre for Research & Education on Violence Against Women & Children (CREVAWC) and Boundary Layer Wind Tunnel were unveiled this week as the latest heritage plaques celebrating significant research-related moments in the university’s history.
Innovation puts charge in smart knee implants
Knee replacement surgery is one of the world’s most common orthopedic procedures, but those implants don’t last forever. Even the latest smart implants wear out, loosen or just fail to meet patient expectations and require revision surgery.
