Join an interdisciplinary team of undergraduate students to develop a synthetic biology project over the course of a year. We spend the winter semester on design, planning wet lab/dry lab projects, as well as related initiatives under our education, media, outreach, entrepreneurship, and finance subteams. The summer is then dedicated to full time wet lab (or dry lab) work. We are particularly interested in recruiting applicants with experience in either wet lab or dry lab work to lead those projects.</p> Wed, 29 Jan 2025 14:18:18 +0000 admin 1760 at /chemeng º«¹úÂãÎè researchers awarded funding from NSERC for quantum science /chemeng/channels/news/mcgill-researchers-awarded-funding-nserc-quantum-science-362774 <div> <div> <p><span><span>On January 21, the Natural Sciences and Engineering Research Council of Canada (NSERC), announce<span>d<span> <span>over $74 million in funding to support 107 quantum science projects<span>, including fifteen to º«¹úÂãÎè researchers<span>. <span> </span></span></span></span></span></span></span></span></p></div></div> Tue, 21 Jan 2025 18:28:53 +0000 admin 1753 at /chemeng CUBEC coming up on Jan 25th /chemeng/channels/news/cubec-coming-jan-25th-362512 <p>The Canadian Undergraduate Biomedical Engineering Conference (CUBEC) is set to take place this January 25th, 9am - 6pm, at The Neuro on º«¹úÂãÎè campus!
