Because there are so many different types of cancer there will never be a single cure for them, but researchers have made significant advances in fighting the disease on an individual basis, according to Lisa Porter.
“If you think about it, 60 years ago we didn’t even know what cancer was,” said Dr. Porter, an associate professor in Biological Sciences who devotes much of her lab time to studying the mechanisms that cause cancer cells to divide and grow.
Given that Gurupdesh Pandher knows a thing or two about sharing good ideas, it might be reasonable to expect that there should be some choice new ones coming out of the Odette School of Business in the not-so-distant future.
The faculty's new senior associate dean, academic, Dr. Pandher has spent a fair portion of his research time focusing on why employees of various organizations share performance improving ideas and innovation – or, as is more often the case – keep them to themselves.
A group of engineering students hope to turn a smashed car into a race-winning dune buggy.
Members of the UWindsor SAE-Baja team will host a Car Smash on Thursday, September 27, to raise funds for the construction of their entry in an engineering design competition, which will pit their vehicle against others from around the world in a test of acceleration, manoeuvrability, and endurance.
Davor Srsen was in the middle of the arduous task of finishing his masters’ degree the last time the University’s Centre for Career Education held an event to showcase for students some of the region’s most promising employment sectors.
“I was rushing to finish, but I got an e-mail about the career fair and I decided to check it out,” said the recent graduate of electrical engineering.
The next time Adriana Baggio starts getting stressed and cranky about the amount of studying she has to do, she’ll try to remember her friends in Nicaragua.
Along with about a dozen other students, Baggio travelled to a tiny village in the Central American nation this summer through an innovative exchange program called Students Offering Support.
If there’s one thing Michael Chen will remember about the summer of 2012, it’s that he never really had a summer.
A recent master’s graduate from the Great Lakes Institute for Environmental Research, he spent three months in the southern hemisphere working with the environmental team at Solid Energy, a coal mining company based in Christchurch, New Zealand.
Preliminary data gathered from state-of-the-art acoustic technology in the deep waters off the shores of Baffin Island will provide extraordinary insight for developing new commercial Inuit fisheries and protecting fish stocks for future generations in northern Canada, according to a University of Windsor scientist.
The 20-minute tours are free and there’s no need to register in advance—just show up!
Guides will lead the tour through both the main and west buildings, stopping at points along the way to explain borrowing policies, collections and help services. The tours leave from the library’s lobby:
Stephen Fields spends most of his working life writing about other researchers’ experiences. Now he has the chance for a scientific adventure of his own, as he sets sail aboard a research vessel for an Arctic voyage off the north shore of Baffin Island.
The components for the first of two new wind tunnels to be installed in the new Ed Lumley Centre for Engineering Innovation began arriving late last week, much to the delight of the researchers who will be working with them.
Made by Industrial Metal Fabricators Ltd. of Chatham, the elevated 12 meter tunnel will run in a closed loop around the walls of a lab in the north-east corner of the CEI. With a 1.2 meter fan and a 30 horsepower motor, the tunnel will be capable of generating wind speeds of up to about 30 meters per second.
