A McGill-engineered biosensor is helping to redefine food safety across Canada.
Congratulations to Professor Sara Mahshid on being inducted into the Royal Society of Canada College of New Scholar, Artists and Scientists! Read more here.
The Department of Bioengineering is pleased to announce that our new teaching laboratory is now open in the McConnell Engineering Building! This new space will support hands-on learning and student training in a modern, well-equipped environment.
A big thank you to everyone who contributed to making this new lab a reality. We look forward to seeing the incredible work that will come out of this space in the semesters ahead!
This lab is an exciting addition to our existing teaching facilities currently housed at UQAM.
An interdisciplinary team of McGill researchers has developed an ultra-strong, environmentally friendly medical glue, or bioadhesive, made from marine waste. The discovery has promising applications for wound care, surgeries, improved drug delivery, wearable devices and medical implants.
“Being able to produce glues that can close wounds or make something strongly adhere to the skin is critical for many medical interventions,” said Audrey Moores, Professor in the Department of Chemistry.
A team of McGill University researchers, working with colleagues in the United States and South Korea, has developed a new way to make high-performance lithium-ion battery materials that could help phase out expensive and/or difficult-to-source metals like nickel and cobalt.
We are delighted to announce that Professor Sara Mahshid has been awarded tenure! Please join us in celebrating this well-deserved recognition.
A congratulatory message from our Department Chair, Adam Hendricks: "Congratulations, Sara! Your contributions to the department and university over the past several years have been truly impressive. I’m honored to have you as a colleague."
The Department of Bioengineering invites you to come to the McGill Libraries and examine digital 3D reconstructions of rare objects preserved in various Montreal museums! Using touch tables the size of a TV screen installed at the Schulich Library of Physical Sciences, Life Sciences, and Engineering, and the McLennan Library Building, you can zoom and rotate 3D models as part of a virtual natural history museum.
The Department of Bioengineering congratulates Professor Codruta Ignea on receiving two prestigious Faculty Scholar Awards:
Members of socially and economically marginalized groups in Montreal and Ottawa-Gatineau are at disproportionate risk in earthquakes, a new study has found.
Co-authored by McGill civil engineering professor Daniele Malomo, the study is the first in Canada to examine earthquake vulnerability through the lens of equity.
Researchers at McGill University, in collaboration with Polytechnique Montréal, pioneered a new way to create hydrogels using ultrasound, eliminating the need for toxic chemical initiators. This breakthrough offers a faster, cleaner and more sustainable approach to hydrogel fabrication, and produces hydrogels that are stronger, more flexible and highly resistant to freezing and dehydration. The new method also promises to facilitate advances in tissue engineering, bioadhesives and 3D bioprinting.
The Department of Bioengineering would like to congratulate Professor Sara Mahshid on being selected as the recipient of the 2025
The Department of Bioengineering enjoyed a fun and enriching retreat at the Gault Nature Reserve on Monday, April 28. Faculty and staff came together to connect and share ideas in the reserve’s beautiful natural setting. A big thank you to everyone who took part and helped make the day memorable. The department now looks ahead to another exciting year! (April 2025)
We're excited to announce that the third edition of the Sustainability and Synthetic Biology Conference is coming up! This student-led conference will take place on Friday, April 11th, 2025. The third edition will highlight students’ final Case Study Projects, and renowned guest speakers will represent the breadth of synthetic biology, from cutting-edge academic research to innovative startups and international communities.
I would like to personally thank everyone who contributed to McGill24. On March 12, our annual day of giving, the Faculty of Engineering received a total of 751 donations! I am so touched by the generosity of our community. I know how motivating it is for our students, faculty and staff to receive your support.
