News & Announcements

Congratulations to Dr. Leonard Foster and Dr. Sabrina Leslie on being awarded grants through the Canada Foundation for Innovation (CFI) Innovation Fund! This funding will allow Foster and Leslie to acquire new equipment that will help to advance their research projects. Their research projects will contribute to the fundamental science

Congratulations to graduate student Yao Zhang, co-supervised by Drs. Sabrina Leslie and Pieter Cullis, for being awarded the Mary Adele Norman Postgraduate Award in Medical Research from the Faculty of Medicine.

In this presentation from Vancouver Nanomedicine Day 2023, Dr. Sabrina Leslie discusses her work on single-particle & single-cell imaging to quantitate biophysical properties of mRNA lipid nanoparticles & engineer improved vaccines & therapies. https://youtu.be/N1F82BwU2cU

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.
