What does it take to earn a gold medal at the North American iGEM (International Genetically Engineered Machine) competition? For the gold medal-winning team from U of T’s IBBME, it can be summed up in just one word: safety. This…
University of Toronto researchers have developed a method that can rapidly screen human stem cells and better control what they will turn into. The technology could have potential use in regenerative medicine and drug development. Findings are published in this…
A Canadian technology that has the potential to boost the number of stem cells given to patients undergoing transplants of the blood-forming system has been recognized as the most influential stem cell research paper authored by a Canadian in the past…
Interface Biologics, Inc, the spin-off company begun by Professor Paul Santerre (IBBME), has received its second FDA clearance in less than a year for AngioDynamic’s BioFlo Port catheter. The catheter is made with Endexo technology, a biomaterial substance invented by the U…
“When it doesn’t really exist anywhere you have to build your own,” said Ryan Fobel (IBBME PhD candidate), who is the mastermind behind the DropBot, a ‘digital microfluidics’ research tool that may just spark a revolution in biomedical engineering research. According…
It’s been a decade since the Human Genome Project finished sequencing our genome, and everyone and their grandmother knows that gene expression controls critical biological processes. Genes encode proteins, and proteins are the building blocks of the human body. But…
