Researchers from Western have shown that a fireball that originated at the edge of the Solar System was likely made of rock, not ice, challenging long-held beliefs about how the Solar System was formed. Just at the edge of our Solar System and halfway t …

New research targets aggressive breast cancer
Scientists at Western have identified a new therapeutic target for advanced breast cancer, which has shown tremendous promise in mouse models.
Researchers exploring Martian ‘oddities’
By investigating extremely detailed images of Mars, Western researchers have discovered further evidence linking subsurface volatiles, such as water or ice, to previously recognized (but thought to be rare) pits on the Martian surface.
Seeking answers to cancer’s questions
Innovation solutions from two Western scientists have received new funding from the Canadian Cancer Society. The grants were two of 28 representing a $5.4 million investment across the country announced today.
Breakthrough gets funding boost
A cell line being developed by Western musculoskeletal researcher Dr. Cheryle Seguin may hold the key researchers need to unlock the secrets of chordoma.
Comparing robotic surgery to radiation therapy for cancer patients
Western professors David Palma and Anthony Nichols are preparing to compare robotic surgery to radiation for the treatment of oropharyngeal cancer (cancer of the back of the throat) in a first-of-its-kind study toward identifying the best treatment for patients.
‘Moon’ mission sends back first images
CSA astronaut Jeremy Hansen has joined Western planetary geologist Gordon ‘Oz’ Osinski and his research team in the Canadian Arctic to investigate a possible new meteorite impact crater. Follow along with the exploration at the official mission blog.
Western geologist assists astronaut on future missions
Western University planetary geologist Gordon ‘Oz’ Osinski and his research team will be joined by Canadian Space Agency (CSA) astronaut Jeremy Hansen in the Canadian Arctic to investigate a possible new meteorite impact crater which, in turn, will help prepare for future international missions to the Moon or Mars.
Research making math add up for kids
George Gadanidis isn’t just helping elementary school students learn math; he’s helping them enjoy the process.
Western projects get internal boosts
Five Western projects are one step closer to moving their work toward commercialization with awards from the Western Innovation Fund (WIF).
Stopping cancer at the source
Schulich School of Medicine & Dentistry professor Joseph Torchia is exploring new areas of genetics that could lead to new avenues for treatment.
Automotive research gets direct injection
MONTREAL – Three Western-led projects targeting smarter systems, better materials and safer roadways are among projects benefiting from a $22 million investment by Canada’s automotive research program, the AUTO21 Network of Centres of Excellence.
New campaign makes case for research
Western professors Tima Bansal and Gordon Osinski are helping explain why Research Matters, a new province-wide campaign by the Council of Ontario Universities to showcase new stories and ideas emerging from Ontario university research.
