Surprisingly, C2D2 is not the cousin of this beloved Star Wars automaton.

C2D2 research initiative comes to life

Senate approved the proposal for the establishment of the Centre for Cell Biology, Development, and Disease (C2D2) as a centre for a five-year term.

The proposal was brought forward by Michael Silverman from the Department of Biological Sciences and Michel Leroux from the Department of Molecular Biology and Biochemistry, who offered to initially co-direct the centre.

Although the name may remind you of the automaton from Star Wars, the centre will be geared toward establishing greater cohesion and visibility for researchers whose focus is on cell and developmental mechanisms of human, animal, and plant diseases.

Senate approves MBA certificate in science and technology

Senate approved the creation of a Graduate Certificate in Science & Technology Commercialization based out of the Beedie School of Business.

The certificate will provide knowledge for research scientists during their PhD programs that will enable them to commercialize their work and prepare them to work as agents of commercialization in the industry.

The cohort of roughly 15 to 20 students who will take part in the program will attend class one evening a week at the Segal Graduate School of Business, downtown.

Another factor for me was family — as the daughter of immigrant parents who left their homes, careers, and loved ones behind, I felt pressured to establish a career that honoured their sacrifices in their hopes of giving me a better future.  I loved subjects in the...
