News & Announcements

NMIN’s Round 4 grant is intended to support the continuation of completed NMIN Strategic Initiative research projects which demonstrate high potential for commercialization and clinical translation. The Leslie Lab is happy to announce that we have been awarded $200,000 over two years to continue the research we started in 2020

With recent advancements in single-cell analysis and imaging, the MSL’s Leslie Lab is emerging as a leader in this rapidly growing field of research. Working at the intersection of physics and biology, the lab is focused on developing a better understanding of single-cell and molecule interactions that could improve medical

The annual Frontiers in Biophysics (FiB) conference was held here at UBC this year, with Sabrina serving as a faculty mentor to this student-run conference. This year attendance was at a record high, and it was the first time FiB had an international Keynote speaker as well as a career panel.

Sabrina was invited to speak at the mRNA Quality Control & Comparability Summit in Boston. This summit is part of the World RNA Series, which is a series of events disseminating information about the rapid changes in RNA-based therapeutics in order to deliver safe and effective RNA therapies to patients

The Canadian Association of Physicists Congress (CAP) was hosted by The University of New Brunswick in Fredericton this year and Sabrina was invited to speak on single-molecule microscopy, current applications of CLiC, and how the technology is being used to to advance nanomedicines. CAP brings together physicists in academia and industry

A few Leslie Lab scientists attended the annual Canadian Chemistry Conference and Exhibition in Vancouver this year. Dr. Albert Kamanzi (postdoctoral fellow) and Cynthia Shaheen (PhD candidate) shared their research and exchanged knowledge with leading chemists from Canada and around the world. Congratulations to Cynthia for winning a poster prize for
