Students formed the team at the end of 2022 and spent the first two months of 2023 ideating their proposal. Then – around their regular course loads – they worked in the lab until the end of the semester. During the summer months, they implemented plans to raise money, contacting stakeholders that a small finance sub team had brainstormed. Throughout, they held workshops with the Montréal biotech community as well as a two-day conference.</p> Wed, 01 May 2024 18:35:56 +0000 admin 1331 at /engine /engine/channels/news/mcgill-engine-cultivates-entrepreneurial-mindset-357170 <p>The <a href="/engine/events/john-d-thompson-entrepreneurial-development-seminar">John D. Thompson Entrepreneurial Development Seminar</a> was established thanks to a generous donation by John D. Thompson (BEng’57) ten years ago. This year, the seminar was opened by Peter Thompson, President and CEO of National Bank Insurance, on his father’s behalf. Peter spoke of how important the entrepreneurial mindset is to his dad and how John Thompson has been proud to support McGill Engine since its inception.</p> Wed, 01 May 2024 18:52:27 +0000 admin 1330 at /engine /engine/channels/news/vadasz-scholar-leads-way-357171 <p>This year, PhD student, Asia Vighi will be the graduate instructor for the undergraduate team competing at iGem.

McGill’s iGEM team, which is made up of a large number of students from the Department of Bioengineering, won the 2023 iGEM Global Challenge. It’s the first time ever that this global prize has been won by a Canadian university, and the first time in 10 years that it has been won by a university in North America. A big congratulations to our students, and to our professors and grad students who mentored and supported the team! I invite you to peruse the lists below of those who have contributed to this project.</p> Wed, 01 May 2024 17:34:22 +0000 admin 1327 at /engine
