Three U of T engineers have been awarded research grants by Canada’s Collaborative Health Research Projects (CHRP) program.

CHRP – an initiative of the Natural Sciences and Engineering Research Council (NSERC) and Canadian Institutes of Health Research (CIHR) – supports interdisciplinary research projects that will lead to health benefits for Canadians, more effective health services or economic development in health-related areas.

Faculty recipients are:

• Professor Roman Genov (ECE), for research on fully implantable wireless multi-electrode ECoG monitoring system;
• Professor Ofer Levi (IBBME/ECE), for research on developing an optical imaging system that will monitor brain dynamics in patients with epilepsy and stroke; and,
• Professor Peter Zandstra (ChemE/IBBME), for research on the development and application of stem cell counting.

“On behalf of the Faculty, I would like to congratulate this year’s CHRP recipients,” said Dean Cristina Amon. “Funding through NSERC and CIHR ensures that our professors continue their impactful research in the tremendously important field of human health.”
