CBB members Catherine Burns, Systems Design Engineering, and Kelly Grindrod, Pharmacy, have been awarded a NSERC CRD for $237,000 for their ongoing work with TELUS Health.  This award builds on an existing relationship that looks to improve work coordination and decision making through contextual analysis and how technology may influence the physician pharmacist relationship. 

CBB is looking for a student member to join the CBB Operations Committee. The Operations Committee is responsible for planning and executing the activities of CBB and ensures that CBB provides interactions and functions that are useful to CBB members. Committee members provide an ongoing exchange of information between their academic and research units and CBB, help promote CBB and communicate the Centre's activities to their departments, research groups and other colleagues at the University o

Only recently he and his students at the KIMIA Lab were able to exploit the advances in machine learning to tag medical images with ‘’, an idea that can revolutionize diagnostic imaging.

CBB member, Trevor Charles, is part of a newly formed collaboration that has received $250,000 in funding from Genome Canada’s Disruptive Innovations in Genomics (DIG) program to retool a well-studied bacterial strain into accepting genetic material from other bacterial species. The new genetic toolbox will have wide-ranging applications from generating new bioplastics to fighting devastating plant pathogens.

Chekema Prince, Project Manager for the Second Heart project, and the Centre for Bioengineering and Biotechnology, were mentioned during the Canadian Aerospace Summit yesterday; November 15, 2016, by Chairman, President and CEO Marillyn A. Hewson. 

A Memorandum of Understanding was first signed between À¶Ý®ÊÓƵ and Sorbonne in 2015 to collaborate on research in health engineering, bioengineering, integrated smart transportation, bio-economy, urban planning, and digital arts. [À¶Ý®ÊÓƵ International]

The IEEE UFFC Society has presented the to CBB member and Electrical and Computer Engineering Professor Alfred Yu in recognition of his exceptional  contributions to biomedical ultrasound research. This is the top IEEE award for ultrasonics researchers within the first 10 years after PhD.

Congratulations!

John Yeow (Systems Design Engineering) was welcomed by The Royal Society of Canada as a 2016 member of the college of new scholars, artists and scientists.  He is widely recognised for his pioneering contributions to microelectromechanical systems (MEMS) and nanotechnology based biomedical imaging systems for diagnostic and therapeutic applications.
