A Queen카지노 게임 컬렉션s 카지노게임사이트 delegation participated this week in the opening of a new laboratory building at Japan카지노 게임 컬렉션s Nagoya 카지노게임사이트 카지노 게임 컬렉션 a facility that will help support Professor Cathleen Crudden카지노 게임 컬렉션s (Chemistry) international research program and strengthen ties between the two universities.

Daniel Woolf, Principal and Vice-Chancellor, and Steven Liss, Vice-Principal (Research), are to strengthen ties and build collaborations with partner universities in those countries. Along with , they were on hand to help inaugurate the building at the Institute of Transformative Bio-Molecules (ITbM). Professor Crudden has operated a research lab at the ITbM since 2013, when she was appointed as a visiting research professor.

카지노 게임 컬렉션Ground-breaking research is increasingly being conducted across borders, and the ITbM is an excellent example of a research centre that is creating opportunities for both international and interdisciplinary collaboration,카지노 게임 컬렉션 says Principal Woolf. 카지노 게임 컬렉션Not only does the facility allow Professor Crudden to expand her research beyond her lab at Queen카지노 게임 컬렉션s, it also provides opportunities for graduate students working with her in Kingston to gain an international research experience.카지노 게임 컬렉션

The ITbM is an interdisciplinary laboratory that hosts a number of Japanese and international research teams focused on developing innovative new molecules that can be applied in a range of fields, from agriculture to medicine.

카지노 게임 컬렉션The ITbM is an exceptional facility where leading researchers are making important discoveries at the intersection of biology and chemistry,카지노 게임 컬렉션 says Vice-Principal Liss. 카지노 게임 컬렉션Queen카지노 게임 컬렉션s is proud to have Professor Crudden contributing to the institute카지노 게임 컬렉션s innovative work.카지노 게임 컬렉션

Professor Crudden is particularly excited about the ITbM카지노 게임 컬렉션s 카지노 게임 컬렉션mix-lab카지노 게임 컬렉션 philosophy, where researchers from different fields are able to accelerate their advances by working together, often through informal daily discussions.

카지노 게임 컬렉션One of the most interesting things is that the lab will have integrated chemistry and biology work areas. The desks of chemists and biologists will be side-by-side,카지노 게임 컬렉션 says Professor Crudden. 카지노 게임 컬렉션I hope it will lead to some excellent collaborations.카지노 게임 컬렉션

The new facility will help Professor Crudden advance her work on a number of new research projects, such as the creation of a synthetic thyroid hormone that could prove beneficial to the agricultural sector and the creation of nanoclusters, which will allow for better medical imaging. It will also provide international research opportunities for students from her lab at Queen카지노 게임 컬렉션s to participate in the work at the ITbM.

Professor Crudden has been an active researcher at Queen카지노 게임 컬렉션s since 2002, when she joined the university카지노 게임 컬렉션s faculty as a Queen카지노 게임 컬렉션s National Scholar. She is recipient of numerous awards and fellowships, including a 2015 Killam Research Fellowship from the Canada Council for the Arts.
