Researchers from Queen카지노 게임 컬렉션�s have been awarded two of the six Canada Council Killam Fellowships for 2015.

Cathleen Crudden (Chemistry) and Troy Day (Mathematics and Statistics) have each earned one of the prestigious Killam Fellowships, one of Canada카지노 게임 컬렉션�s most distinguished awards for outstanding career achievements in health sciences, engineering, humanities, natural sciences and social sciences.

카지노 게임 컬렉션�I카지노 게임 컬렉션�m proud that two of six Killam Fellowships are being awarded to two highly deserving researchers from Queen카지노 게임 컬렉션�s,카지노 게임 컬렉션� says Steven Liss, Vice-Principal (Research). 카지노 게임 컬렉션�These honours go to show the high quality research taking place at the university and how cutting-edge ideas are becoming reality.카지노 게임 컬렉션�

Recipients for the Killam Fellowships are chosen by a committee of 15 Canadian scholars appointed by the .

For her project Organically Modified Metal Surfaces: Biosensing and Beyond, Dr. Crudden has proposed to carry out research important for advances in materials science, health care, energy production and the environment.

카지노 게임 컬렉션�We카지노 게임 컬렉션�ll be studying the applications of a recent discovery from our lab in which we made novel organic coatings on metals that have unprecedented robustness due to the presence of actual chemical bonds between the organic layer and the metal surface,카지노 게임 컬렉션� says Dr. Crudden, who is currently cross-appointed to the Institute of Transformative Bio-Molecules at Nagoya 카지노게임사이트 in Japan. 카지노 게임 컬렉션�The organic film has a thickness that is approximately 100,000 times smaller than a human hair, yet it is stable to temperatures greater than 300 °C, and survives boiling in various solvents, acid, base and oxidizing environments.카지노 게임 컬렉션�

Dr. Crudden is proposing research that can be applied to the development of biological sensors for use by hospitals to improve reliability in the diagnoses of viruses and diseases such as cancer. This research could also be applied to areas including solar-cell technology, corrosion prevention and the monitoring of environmental pollutants.

For Dr. Day, combining mathematics with biology can mean a better understanding of the appropriate treatment for different diseases. While it카지노 게임 컬렉션�s widely believed that early and aggressive use of antibiotics can both kill bacterial infections and prevent drug resistance, this isn카지노 게임 컬렉션�t always the case.

카지노 게임 컬렉션�We are using mathematics to better understand how to slow the evolution of drug resistance. Our results so far point to the interesting new possibility of using chemical agents that target host molecules, in addition to traditional drug therapy, as a way of slowing evolution,카지노 게임 컬렉션� Dr. Day says.

As a part of his research, Dr. Day is using mathematics to understand when this aggressive use of drugs is called for and when other strategies may be more appropriate. His project Designing Evolution-Proof Cancer Chemotherapy with Mathematics aims to explore these same ideas in the context of resistance to anti-cancer chemotherapy.

카지노 게임 컬렉션�Thanks to the Killam Fellowship, I카지노 게임 컬렉션�ll be able to take the extra time needed to further develop my ideas on drug resistance and strengthen collaborations with researchers at other institutions who plan to test this theory experimentally,카지노 게임 컬렉션� says Dr. Day.

Queen카지노 게임 컬렉션�s distinguishes itself as one of the leading research-intensive institutions within Canada. The mission is to advance research excellence, leadership and innovation, as well as enhance Queen카지노 게임 컬렉션�s impact at a national and international level. Through undertaking leading-edge research, Queen카지노 게임 컬렉션�s is addressing many of the world카지노 게임 컬렉션�s greatest challenges, and developing innovative ideas and technological advances brought about by discoveries in science, engineering and health.
