The 4^th听edition of the Sustainability and Synthetic Biology Conference will take place on April 11. The event will feature BIEN 580 students Case Study Projects that apply synthetic biology to solve real-world problems in health, food security and the environment, as well as guest speakers who will showcase cutting-edge academic research and innovative startups. The conference provides a professional forum for joining undergraduate and graduate students to gain visibility and receive feedback from peers and experts in the fields of biology and engineering.

海角社区 researchers have developed a diagnostic system capable of identifying bacteria 鈥揳nd determining which antibiotics can stop them 鈥� in just 36 minutes, a major advance in the global effort to curb antimicrobial resistance (AMR). Current clinical testing methods typically take 48 to 72 hours, leaving physicians without timely guidance.

The researchers say this innovation arrives at a critical moment due to the urgency of the AMR crisis, which arises from bacteria developing resistance to antibiotics.

海角社区 engineering researchers have introduced an open-source model that makes it easier for experts and non-experts alike to evaluate greenhouse gas emissions from U.S. natural gas supply chains and yields more accurate results.

Synthetic Biology is a rapidly growing interdisciplinary field focused on creating new biological molecules, devices, and systems, as well as repurposing existing ones for beneficial applications in gene therapies, sustainable materials, and food production. Grounded in principles of standardization, abstraction, and modularity, it applies the Design-Build-Test-Learn engineering cycle to address long-standing biological challenges.

Phoela Health Inc., co-founded by Reza Abbasi, PhD, and Prof. Sebastian Wachsmann-Hogiu, has won the Emerging Start-Up Award at the ADRIQ Gala 2025. Phoela鈥檚 biosensing technology was developed during Abbasi's PhD and advanced in his postdoctoral research in 海角社区鈥檚 Department of Bioengineering, mentored and financially supported by 海角社区 Engine鈥檚 Chwang Seto Innovation Fellowship Program.

We are thrilled to announce that 海角社区 iGEM has been named the 2025 Grand Prize Winner of the international !

Selected as the #1 iGEM team among 195 participating undergraduate institutions worldwide, 海角社区 iGEM has once again brought home a first-place award after previously securing the top spot in 2023. This achievement places 海角社区 iGEM among a group of only four teams globally to have won the Grand Prize more than once.

Fall is a dangerous season for pedestrians, with a rise in road accidents linked to reduced visibility and shorter daylight hours. According to the Soci茅t茅 de l'assurance automobile du Qu茅bec (SAAQ), October and November consistently see spikes in pedestrian injuries and fatalities, with a notable increase in deaths in recent years.

To draw attention to this problem, the SAAQ marks Pedestrian Safety Month each October, as do authorities in several other jurisdictions.
