How imaging investment is paying off for Western
Dr. Ting-Yim Lee’s work was the centerpiece of a recent Canada Foundation for Innovation (CFI) study pointing to medical imaging not only as “one of Canada’s research and development strengths,” but also as a sound investment for past – and future – federal dollars.
Two research pillars honoured with Hellmuth Prize
Western professors Stewart Harris of the Schulich School of Medicine & Dentistry and Charles Weijer of the Faculty of Arts & Humanities have been awarded the 2014 Hellmuth Prize for Achievement in Research.
Eight Western projects fueled by consortium
The Southern Ontario Smart Computing Innovation Platform (SOSCIP) has provided Western researchers with access to much-needed infrastructure, including the high-performance IBM Blue Gene/Q supercomputers and cloud computing and agile computing platforms that are unlike any others in Canada.
City pledges accelerated support to medical network
The proposed London Medical Innovation and Commercialization Network took another step closer to reality Monday night when the city council’s Investment and Economic Prosperity Committee pledged an immediate $5 million in support of the network’s Phase 1. The move speeds up the initial plan for the city to invest $1 million annually over a decade.
Planetary scientists among four new CRCs
Call it a new era in the ‘space race.’
Professor charges toward better battery life
While you may see a Chevrolet Volt here, or a Nissan Leaf there, the future of the electric car has a way to go when it comes to safety, cost and, especially, performance. However, Engineering professor Andy Sun may have an answer to that final challenge.
Lab findings put patients on sound footing
Imagine being able to look inside the body in motion, and see not only the biomechanics of bones and joints, but also their interaction with the outside world.
Study offers a clearer picture of brain at rest
New research from Western into the resting state of the brain could lead to better treatment for patients suffering from head injuries.
Partnership has millions of people breathing easier
Catherine McCoy is thrilled to be doing something she hasn’t done in quite some time – sleep comfortably.
Campus Digest: ORFRI announces backing for six projects
Six London-based research teams – five based at Western, one at the Lawson Health Research Institute – will share more than $7.4 million from the Ontario Research Fund-Research Infrastructure (ORFRI) program to further their discoveries. London North Centre MPP Deb Matthews announced the grants last month at Robarts Research Institute.
Funding fuels Western brain disease research
New funding from the Canada Foundation for Innovation (CFI) will help a Western researcher unlock a previously underexplored portion of the brain, giving his team a unique look into how certain diseases attack.
