The Clarke Prize Environmental Design Challenge is a two-day hackathon, exclusively for undergraduate engineering students. Put your creativity and problem-solving skills to the test as you come up with new ideas to tackle real-world environmental challenges. Collaborate with peers, learn from experts and turn your innovative ideas into impactful solutions. In this intensive learning experience, students will hone their […]

Katie Galloway, Massachusetts Institute of Technology Host: Prof. Nicole Weckman Integrating synthetic circuitry into larger transcriptional networks to mediate predictable cellular behaviors remains a challenge within synthetic biology. In particular, the stochastic nature of transcription makes coordinating expression across multiple genetic elements difficult. Further, delivery of large genetic cargoes limits the efficiency of cellular engineering. Thus, […]

Astral Day – Ushering in a New Era in Proteomics Date: Wednesday, January 31 Time: 1:00 PM – 5:00 PM  Location: Mount Sinai Hospital, 18th floor Auditorium  Join us in person for a half-day symposium focused on Orbitrap Astral, a top-of-the-line mass spectrometer for quantitative proteomics – and Canada’s first! Hosted by the Lunenfeld-Tanenbaum Research Institute, speakers include world-leading […]

In this practical workshop, students will explore the key behaviours associated with establishing rapport and connection when meeting someone new at a career fair, coffee chat, recruitment event, informational interview, etc. From effectively communicating your personal strengths and career goals to understanding intercultural nuances, participants will practice strategies for establishing meaningful connections that leave an […]
