Chemistry professors Bulent Mutus, Marcus Drover, and Simon Rondeau-Gagné are collaborating on a research project to develop sensors making storage and distribution of hydrogen safer.
Jill Crossman is co-ordinating a multidisciplinary team developing new tools to test, analyze, and track microplastics pollution.
UWindsor researchers and institutional partners are tackling microplastics pollution at its source.
Watershed research technicians Mackenzie Porter and Samantha Dundas of the Essex Region Conservation Authority and biochemistry student Dave Ure clear a biofilter at the Lebo Creek Wetland.
A $50,000 donation from the University of Windsor Alumni Association will fund two projects to further science and education in Windsor-Essex.
UWindsor biochemistry graduate student Cody Caba and professor Bulent Mutus display the crystal structure of protein disulfide isomerase. Mutus received an NSERC Discovery Grant to examine cell proteins and structures and how they contribute to diseases.
Bulent Mutus is a micro mechanic.
But instead of fixing cars with wrenches and grease, the biochemist rolls up his sleeves and chops up and rebuilds proteins using microscopes and Petri dishes.
“If this enzyme were a car we would know where the engine is, but now we are looking at turning that engine off so the pathology will go away,” the UWindsor professor said.
Professor Stephen Loeb congratulates prize-winning chemistry students Mitchell DiPasquale and Jacqueline Gemus.
Two UWindsor students received honours at the Southern Ontario Undergraduate Chemistry Conference, March 18 at York University.
Jacqueline Gemus, a student in professor Rob Schurko’s research group, won first prize in physical chemistry.
Dr. Schurko says Gemus’ main area of interest is the mechanochemical synthesis of porous framework materials known as zeolitic imidazolate frameworks (ZIFs) and the use of solid-state nuclear magnetic resonance to monitor the formation of these amazing framework materials.

A UWindsor researcher has designed and built a filter that can remove potentially harmful phosphates from contaminated water.
Chemistry professor Bulent Mutus holds up some of the various forms of chitosan that were used to make a filter like the one behind him.
A chemistry researcher and his industrial partners are testing a new method of filtering agricultural wastewater with the help of an unexpected material.
A free public lecture Wednesday will discuss the applications of nanoparticles.
