McGill scientists turn marine waste into a sustainable solution for wound care, wearable devices and more
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.
McGill scientists develop cleaner, cheaper way to make lithium-ion batteries
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.
Associate Professor Mahshid!
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."
Virtual Exhibition in McGill Libraries Featuring Prof. Reznikov’s Research
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.
Prof. Ignea receives two Faculty Scholar Awards
The Department of Bioengineering congratulates Professor Codruta Ignea on receiving two prestigious Faculty Scholar Awards:
Scott Taylor ELATE Faculty Scholar in Engineering Education Research - from ELATE
Members of marginalized groups are at disproportionate risk in earthquakes, study finds
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.
Ultrasound unlocks a safer, greener way to make hydrogels
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.
Congratulations Prof. Mahshid! 2025 PerkinElmer Analytical Sciences and Spectroscopy Award
The Department of Bioengineering would like to congratulate Professor Sara Mahshid on being selected as the recipient of the 2025
Bioengineering Department Retreat at McGill's Gault Nature Reserve
