News & Events

Our first Stemspec Participant Meeting was held on November 14, 2008!

Dr. Dmitry Bandura provided an overview of the operation of the mass cytometer.

Dr. Xudong Lou explained how the polymer tags are synthesized.

The biological applications of the technology were demonstrated by Dr. Olga Ornatsky.

Members of the Tanner, Winnik, and Nitz labs had the opportunity to talk about their shared goals while indulging in their shared love of pizza.

This project is funded by Genome Canada through the Ontario Genomics Institute:

Complementary funding is gratefully acknowledged from:

Raising the Bar: The Royal Society of Chemistry has published an interview with Scott Tanner.
