Dr. Charles E. SmithĚýcontinues long-standing collaborative investigations with Dr. James Simmer and Dr. Jan Hu from the University of Michigan about how ameloblasts coordinate their activities to produce the protective enamel covering of teeth as well as flawed responses that occur from these cells when matrix formation/signaling is disrupted by genetic alterations.

On October 22nd, Montreal City Council members came to a mutual research agreement between the City and the Centre for Interdisciplinary Research on Montreal (CIRM) for the realization of a project regarding the implementation of the Politique de l’enfant’s five intervention axes “Naître, grandir, s’épanouir à Montréal: de l’enfant à l’adolescence”.
Dr Emily McDonald has organized the 2019 McGill Department of Medicine Clinical Research Symposium on High Value Medical Care that will take place on Friday 15 November in the Research Institute Auditorium, ES1.1129.

My lab has developed a protocol to easily assess the specificity of antibodies—and hopefully stem some of the reproducibility crisis.

Scientists demonstrate flaws in protein detection tools, and outline a solution
A new study points to the need for better antibody validation, and outlines a process that other labs can use to make sure the antibodies they work with function properly.
Antibodies are used in laboratories and clinics to study proteins, which are the biomolecules that translate information from an organism’s genes into the structure, function, and regulation of its tissues and organs. Genetic mutations can cause protein imbalances or malfunctions, leading to human disease.

Around 75 students joinedĚýfaculty and staff from the Faculty of Science at Thomson House last week to celebrate their experience as undergraduate researchers over the summer.
In his welcoming remarks, Bruce Lennox, Dean of the Faculty of Science, acknowledged the students’ contributions in McGill’s “intense research environments”.
Congratulations to Dr. Marc McKee for receiving the ASBMR 2019 Adele L. Boskey Award! The Adele L Boskey Esteemed Award for Bone and Mineral Research recognizes an American Society for Bone and Mineral Research member for outstanding and major scientific contributions, leadership and mentorship in the area of bone and mineral research especially in the areas of mechanisms of mineralization, bone mineral, bone quality, and mechanobiology.
AI and virtual reality can determine neurosurgeon expertise with 90% accuracy
Machine learning-guided virtual reality simulators can help neurosurgeons develop the skills they need before they step in the operating room, according to a new study.
This document summarizes activity carried out from 2014-2018. It illustrates Dialogue McGill’s intent, in Phase 3 of its development, to strengthen ties between its partners, standardize its programs, and refine impact measurement.
