The available research projects and course description etc. for CHEM4710 ‘Project in Chemistry or Biochemistry’ for 2022/2023’ are now available. For additional questions please contact the course coordinator, Dr. Mario Bieringer.

Sabine Kuss investigates molecule transport across cell membranes by electrochemistry. The transport of metabolites, ions and pharmaceuticals is a crucial part of survival mechanisms for any living cell. The overall goal is to detect diseases, such as cancer, and to understand the development of medical phenomena, such as antimicrobial drug resistance, endocrinological diseases and mitochondrial...

MAY 27, 2022 — As UM Today reports: Eight UM faculty members will receive Rh Awards, recognizing excellence in research, scholarly work and creative activities. For more than 50 years, the Rh Awards have been in place to support the advancement of knowledge across disciplines at UM. Funds for the Rh Awards come from the royalties of...

Our final speaker of the year is Prof. Jean-Denys Hamel, a CRC Tier II chair at the University of Lethbridge. Prof. Hamel received his Ph.D. in 2018 from Université Laval under the supervision of Prof. Jean-François Paquin and went on to a postdoctoral fellowship at UC Berkeley before joining the faculty at Lethbridge. He earned...

We invite you to our CHEM 4710 “Research Project in Chemistry or Biochemistry” oral presentation day. The event will be held on Saturday, April 9 from 9:30 am – 2:30 pm in 205 Armes Bldg. A booklet with the program and presentations’ abstracts is available here.  

Our next speaker, Prof. Cory Widdifield, from University of Regina will present a talk titled “NMR Crystallography: Structure Refinements, Verifications, and Determinations”. Dr. Widdifield is combining NMR with computational analyses to achieve structural refinements that are comparable to methods such as X-ray crystallography, hence the description “NMR Crystallography”. The seminar will be held on Zoom...
