UU直播 was ranked third on RE$EARCH Infosource鈥檚 list of Canada鈥檚 Top 50 Research Universities in 2022, a position the University has maintained for four years. These distinctions reflect, in part, UU直播's strength in attracting research funding and the strong publishing record of the school's professors.</p> Thu, 19 Jan 2023 21:04:08 +0000 webfull 186203 at /channels /channels/channels/news/achievements-mcgill-professors-celebrated-latest-round-nserc-prizes-343018 <p><span style="text-align:left">UU直播 announced that six of its Professors (two individually, four as part of a multi-institutional team) have been declared winners of this year鈥檚 Natural Sciences and Engineering Research Council of Canada (NSERC) prizes.

Yet, in 2021, Natural Resources Canada identified 46 earthquakes, which registered between 1.8 and 5.3 magnitude and to date, 26 earthquakes have occurred in 2022. Damaging earthquakes are surprisingly common in the Western Quebec Seismic Zone, which encloses the Ottawa Valley from Montreal to T茅miscamingue as well as the Laurentians. The question is not if but when a major quake will hit one of Canada鈥檚 major urban centres, an event that poses risks to human life and infrastructure.</p> Thu, 23 Jun 2022 13:35:05 +0000 webfull 180682 at /channels /channels/channels/news/mcgills-scott-weichenthal-wins-nserc-brockhouse-prize-cross-disciplinary-multi-institution-team-334999 <p>A multidisciplinary team of researchers, including UU直播's Scott Weichenthal, an Associate Professor in the Department of Epidemiology, Biostatistics, and Occupational Health,聽has聽been awarded t<a href="https://www.nserc-crsng.gc.ca/Prizes-Prix/Brockhouse-Brockhouse/Profiles-Profils/SOCAAR-SOCAAR_eng.asp">he Brockhouse Prize for Interdisciplinary Research in Science and Engineering</a>聽from the Natural Sciences and Engineering Research Council of Canada (NSERC).</p> Wed, 17 Nov 2021 21:34:20 +0000 webfull 174910 at /channels /channels/channels/news/mcgill-university-researchers-working-prevent-spread-sars-cov-2-high-touch-metallic-surfaces-324647 <p>UU直播 professor Stephen Yue and Dr. Chen Liang, a researcher at the UU直播 AIDS Centre and Lady Davis Institute, received an NSERC Alliance COVID-19 grant to produce a cost-effective, production-ready antiviral coating that could significantly reduce the rate of SARS-CoV-2 transmission on high-touch metallic surfaces in public spaces such as schools, office buildings, and clinics.
