Read More >>A newly developed nanoconstruct may not only diagnose Alzheimer’s disease at an early stage, but may help slow progression. It can get past the blood brain barrier in mice, target the amyloid-beta peptides that are the hallmark of Alzheimer’s disease and improve magnetic resonance imaging.
Read More >>Science is a series of discoveries made by observing, questioning and evaluating our world. Evelyn Asiedu, a Postdoctoral Fellow at Environment and Climate Change Canada, argues we should use this approach to make the changes necessary to ensure the future of chemistry is more diverse.
Read More >>When Mary Kang landed an environmental policy fellowship at Princeton University in 2012, she decided to model methane emissions from abandoned oil and gas wells. It didn’t take long to discover a major roadblock. “I couldn’t find any data. And you need data for modelling,” recalls Kang, now a civil engineering professor at McGill University.

The phrase captures the essence of her work as a professor in the University of Guelph’s Department of Molecular and Cellular Biology, where she has spent more than a decade exploring the daunting biochemical frontier that makes up the human gut. This all too familiar part of our anatomy — which most of us would prefer to think of as a simple black box that turns food into feces — harbours an anaerobic environment known as the microbiome.
