McGill study demonstrates that restricting short-term rentals improves housing affordability

13 Aug 2026

Municipal regulation of short-term rentals “is low-hanging fruit” that helps improve housing affordability, a new study by McGill researchers suggests....

Electric buses in cold climates: Optimizing operations is key, researchers say

11 Aug 2026

A McGill University study recommends cold-climate cities increase their electric bus fleets and expand charging capacity so vehicles can be charged slowly, a process that draws less power from the...

A promising new way to transplant cells could lead to a better treatment for Type 1 diabetes

7 May 2026

Researchers at McGill University and the Research Institute of the McGill University Health Center (RI-MUHC) have developed a novel device to transplant insulin-producing cells that integrates...

McGill researchers engineer faster, more effective blood clots
