A project co-led by UVic biochemist Christoph Borchers will use more than $3.8 million in new funding from Genome Canada to make mouse models more powerful and meaningful to the
study of health and disease. Also funded is UVic chemist Fraser Hof, who receives $238,800 to investigate “methylation”—the smallest form of biochemical control switch.
A research group at the University of Victoria can now detect the presence of invasive species in water or soil using environmental DNA—giving humans a better chance at defending
the ecological balance of delicate habitat.
Wouldn't it be great if we could take a scoop of water from a pond and tell if an invasive species has recently been there? A research group at UVic can now do just that by
measuring the DNA that every organism leaves behind.
A UVic biochemistry student known for his passion for philanthropy and science has won one of Canada's most prestigious awards for outstanding leadership. As one of 10 3M National
Student Fellows across Canada, Paul Junhyuck Kim receives a cash award and is invited to attend the annual conference for the Society for Teaching and Learning in Higher
Education.
