How to do more with less. This simple solution – some would say mantra – is the driving force behind frugal innovation. As Western engineers and biomedical faculty move further into this space with exciting new devices and technologies, the next genera …
Research
Tracking earlier detection of breast cancer
Two Western professors’ research into the early detection of breast cancer are part of eight innovative new projects across the country that will share more than $3.2 million in funding from the Canadian Breast Cancer Foundation.
New treatment target for melanoma skin cancer
New research from Western University has identified a potential new target for the treatment of melanoma, the deadliest of all skin cancers.
Research finds egg yolks almost as bad as smoking
Newly published research led by Western’s Dr. David Spence shows that eating egg yolks accelerates atherosclerosis in a manner similar to smoking cigarettes.
Explaining those feelings of deja vu
Most people have been in a situation that suddenly feels strangely familiar, while also realizing that they have never been in that specific place before.
Ivey students bring case teaching to China
Six students from Ivey’s MBA and MSc programs got to experience a different role in the classroom and gain a glimpse of life half way around the world.
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.
