Getting involved in undergraduate research has been a way for #SFUChemistry student Robby Yoshiro Williams-Sekiguchi to explore his interests and level up the skills he needs to thrive in his classes.

"The thought of being able to obtain a molecular structure and identify what atoms are present in my product just by shooting x-rays is simply amazing," he says.

#SFUScience staff and faculty are heading to our annual holiday party this afternoon. In the meantime, please enjoy the view of this year's #SFUChemistry #chemistree created by SFU's academic glassblower Lucas Clarke. #SFU #chemistry

Research on a new treatment for a deadly #honeybee parasite is getting a boost thanks to an exclusive collaboration agreement between Simon Fraser University and Véto-pharma. The treatment, developed by #SFUChemistry professor Erika Plettner paralyzes #varroa mites, causing them to fall off of bees.

A multidisciplinary cross-Canada team co-lead by @ubcmedicine's François Bénard and #SFUChemistry professor Caterina Ramogida is developing radioactive isotopes for the precision treatment of late-stage cancers. https://www.sshrc-crsh.gc.ca/funding-financement/nfrf-fnfr/stories-histoires/2023/fight_cancer-lutter_contre_le_cancer-eng.aspx #sfu #sfuscience #chemistry #oncology #cancer

Congratulations to this multidisciplinary research team co-lead by #UBC Medicine's François Bénard and #SFUChemistry assistant professor Caterina Ramogida! They been awarded over $23 million in federal funding to develop new #radiopharmaceuticals to treat many different kinds of cancers, including end-stage metastatic cancers with few treatment options. https://www.med.ubc.ca/news/nuclear-medicine-can-cure-cancer-and-canadian-researchers-are-stepping-up-the-fight/ #oncology #nuclearmedicine #cancer #sfuscience #sfu
