Since 1997, the Canada Foundation for Innovation has invested in infrastructure that researchers need to think big, innovate and push the boundaries of knowledge. State-of-the-art research facilities and equipment increase the capability of Canada’s universities, colleges, research hospitals and non-profit research organizations to carry out high-quality research. This, in turn, helps them to attract and retain the world’s top talent, train the next generation of researchers and support world-class research that strengthens the economy and improves the quality of life for all Canadians.

10,000 ways | Learn how Leyla Soleymani's curious nature is making life less sticky!
(Ce balado est uniquement disponible en anglais.)Leyla Soleymani is Canada’s Research Chair in Miniaturized Biomedical Devices. Her passion for the miniature world of nanotech and her commitment to collaboration have led her and her colleagues at McMaster University (https://www.mcmaster.ca/) to inventions ranging from rapid tests that use pig saliva to disease detection to a plastic wrap that repels pathogens like rain drops off a lotus leaf.Want to know more about Leyla Soleymani? Read her McMaster University bio (https://www.eng.mcmaster.ca/msbe/people/faculty/leyla-soleymani#biography)Learn how rapid tests developed at McMaster are fighting infection in Canadian livestock (https://brighterworld.mcmaster.ca/articles/stopping-the-spread-mcmaster-researchers-create-rapid-test-for-deadly-infections-in-livestock-starting-with-pigs/)Find out how the next iteration of rapid tests will use chip readers and smartphones (https://vimeo.com/558103571)RepelWrap works using a self-cleaning surface design microscopically “tuned” to shed everything that comes into contact with it, down to the scale of viruses and bacteria. Read how the design mimics the water-shedding properties of the lotus leaf (https://brighterworld.mcmaster.ca/articles/mcmaster-inventors-repellent-wrap-shown-to-shed-all-viruses-and-bacteria/)Read the Tech Briefs story about award winning RepelWrap (https://www.techbriefs.com/component/content/article/tb/stories/blog/38102)
