From lab-grown organs to smart cities: U of T Engineering researchers receive support from CFI

October 16, 2017

Mice and rats have long been unwitting test subjects for drug companies – even though their furry little bodies don’t mimic human physiology very well. But research by Milica Radisic (IBBME, ChemE), a professor in the University of Toronto’s Faculty of Applied Science & Engineering, has helped open the door to a much better option: testing […]
