Engineering Innovations Forum: Human-Powered Vehicles and Tissue Engineering [VIDEOS]
Two U of T Engineering researchers shared their world-leading innovations with the general public during National Engineering Month
Tailored protein binding opens possibilities for nerve, tissue treatments
Biomedical engineers at the University of Toronto review most promising ways to discover or design new binding partners for time-release protein treatments
Stem cell therapy reverses age-related osteoporosis in mice
Researchers from the Institute of Biomaterials & Biomedical Engineering and The Ottawa Hospital suggest stem-cell treatment for humans may not be far off
Meet three robots engineered at U of T that could improve — or save — your life
Group of international journalists visits Mechanical & Industrial Engineering labs to learn about U of T Engineering research in robotics and automation
Lab-grown heart cells to improve drug safety
A company co-founded by Professor Milica Radisic (IBBME, ChemE) is helping pharmaceutical companies detect negative side effects in drugs by testing them on lab-grown tissues.
Smarter scans could detect cancer earlier
Professor Hai-Ling Margaret Cheng was working as an electrical engineer in the aerospace and defence industry when she had an epiphany: she realized the signal-processing techniques she was using to improve radar for remote sensing could also enhance magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) scans.
Shape-shifting engineered nanoparticles for delivering cancer drugs to tumours
Professor Warren Chan designs modular nanoparticles attached to strands of DNA that can change shape to gain access to diseased tissue, like a key fitting into a lock
