Academic Enhancements
New materials and technologies:
Infrastructure, houses and communication, medical and transportation devices all require naturally-occurring and processed materials. There is an ever-growing and constant demand for understanding the structure of materials and for the development of effective techniques to process them. Revealing the possibilities of composite materials is also a wave of the future. Understanding the structure and function of proteins offers enormous potential from personalized medical diagnosis to solving crop disease.
The University of Manitoba’s strength in this area is diverse, encompassing work in the fields of architecture, science, engineering, environment, textile science and medicine. Several unique facilities on campus, including the Manitoba Centre for Proteomics and Systems Biology and the Nanosystems Fabrication Laboratory, as well as a strong partnership with the Composite Innovation Centre, all contribute to the greater good in understanding the infinite applications of these new materials and technologies.
