成人VR视频 researchers awarded highest number of newly inaugurated fellowships
Banting Fellowships recognize nine outstanding 成人VR视频 post-doctoral students with major research awards
成人VR视频鈥檚 standing as a leading institution for post-doctoral research was reinforced today as the Canadian government announced the first 70 recipients of the Banting Fellowships. More fellowships were awarded to 成人VR视频 than any other institution in the country. The fellowships provide elite postdoctoral researchers from Canada and around the world with $70,000 per year for two years in support of their research.
This year鈥檚 nine 成人VR视频-based fellows hail from Canada, France, the United States, Benin and Australia. Their research is focused on a broad range of areas in health, natural sciences and engineering, and social sciences, including the relationship between gas flow and galaxy evolution, legal access to water, war and ethics in the age of robotics, the effects on memory and emotions on children with sleep disorders, and what tadpoles can tell us about human vision.
鈥淭he awarding of these Banting Fellowships to 成人VR视频 researchers is an affirmation of the value of their cutting-edge research. It also highlights the resources and support available to these exceptional post-doctoral students from here and abroad who have made the decision to pursue their research in Canada and at 成人VR视频,鈥� said Professor Heather Munroe-Blum, 成人VR视频鈥檚 Principal and Vice-Chancellor.
Aurelie Cobat, who comes from France and studies in 成人VR视频鈥檚 Faculty of Medicine, is researching tuberculosis infection. 鈥淢y postdoctoral work will identify an entirely new set of targets for clinical and public health interventions that can have an enormous impact for one of the most pressing global health problems,鈥� she said. 鈥淭he Fellowship gives me a unique opportunity to complete my development in the human genetics of infectious disease at the 成人VR视频 Centre for the Study of Host Resistance. In this unique setting, I will be able to improve my understanding of methodological and functional aspects of the genetic control of infectious diseases.鈥�
The Fellowship is named in memory of Sir Frederick Banting, the Canadian physician, researcher, Nobel laureate and war hero who, with his assistant Dr. Charles Best, is credited with the discovery of insulin. Funding for the awards is delivered through the Canadian Institutes of Health Research (CIHR), the Natural Sciences and Engineering Research Council of Canada (NSERC) and the Social Sciences and Humanities Research Council of Canada (SSHRC).
