New funding 尤物视频 Science researchers supports human health

March 24, 2025

New federal government funding,  will support research in human health at 尤物视频 (SFU) Faculty of Science.

Two SFU Science faculty, mathematics professor Caroline Colijn and biomedical physiology and kinesiology professor Alex Wiesman, have been appointed as Canada Research Chairs. 

New and renewed Canada Research Chairs

The  aims to advance research that leads to groundbreaking discoveries and innovations across health, engineering, sciences, social sciences and humanities.

Caroline Colijn, Department of Mathematics

TIER 1 CANADA RESEARCH CHAIR IN MATHEMATICS FOR INFECTION, EVOLUTION AND PUBLIC HEALTH
(FORMERLY CANADA 150 RESEARCH CHAIR)

Dr. Colijn's research program is distinguished by its interdisciplinary nature, bridging mathematics, statistics, infectious disease, and evolution. The program's core objective is to construct advanced forward-time models grounded in genomic data to elucidate the intricate dynamics of transmission, microbial interactions, and population structures. This program delves into how microbial populations evolve in response to interventions such as vaccination and antibiotics, as examples of the broader evolution of infectious diseases. By integrating mathematical, statistical, and genomic tools, Dr. Colijn's methodology aims to provide a comprehensive understanding of how microbial populations evolve in response to interventions, ultimately helping to inform public health policies as well as the design of genomic surveillance programs.

Alex Wiesman, Department of Biomedical Physiology and Kinesiology

Tier 2 Canada Research Chair in Neurophysiology of Aging and Neurodegeneration

The signaling of human brain cells changes substantially during healthy aging, and deviations from this healthy trajectory preface age-related neurodegenerative disorders, such as Alzheimer鈥檚 and Parkinson鈥檚 disease. Dr. Wiesman鈥檚 proposed CRC research program will use an innovative combination of functional and structural brain imaging with non-invasive brain stimulation to improve our understanding of healthy age-related neurophysiological trajectories. Deviations from these trajectories will be related to clinical risk factors to develop new targets for prognostics, diagnostics, and non-invasive therapeutics. Relationships between brain activity and risk factors will be related to atlases of the brain鈥檚 chemical messenger systems to determine their mechanisms.
