U of G Researcher Involved in Global Collaboration for Antimicrobial Resistance
By Cate Willis
A University of Guelph researcher has joined an international initiative, collaborating with world leaders and experts to provide global advisory and advocacy services with the goal of accelerating political action on antimicrobial resistance (AMR)
Dr. Scott Weese, a professor in the Department of Pathobiology at U of G’s Ontario Veterinary College (OVC), is a member of the...
U of G Enhancing AMR Surveillance With a New Platform
By Cate Willis
University of Guelph researchers are developing a platform for the detection of antibiotic-resistance genes that will enhance the surveillance of antimicrobial resistance (AMR).
Dr. Nicole Ricker, Department of Pathobiology in the Ontario Veterinary College (OVC), is working on a tool called the ...
U of G Research Finds Social Behaviour of Dogs Can Signal Potential Illness
University of Guelph researchers found that sick dogs show reduced social interaction, offering a potential behavioural indicator of illness. Led by Dr. Michael Brunt, the study involved beagles fed diets containing Fusarium mycotoxin, a common pet food contaminant. The findings highlight how changes in social behaviour can signal underlying health issues in animals...
U of G Research Advances Understanding of Human Bladder Cancer
A global study co-authored by University of Guelph researchers identified gene mutations in animals with bladder cancer, offering insight into treating an aggressive human form of the disease. Led by Dr. Geoff Wood and PhD student Latasha Ludwig, the cross-species study may help clinicians target key genes for improved therapies in muscle-invasive bladder cancer...
U of G Develops Sustainable, Affordable Plant-Based Meat
University of Guelph food scientists developed a simpler, more sustainable method for producing plant-based meats with textures like steak and chicken. Using leftover corn protein and a chewing-simulator machine, Dr. Alejandro Marangoni and PhD student Stacie Dobson created a cost-effective alternative to current high-pressure methods, aiming to improve affordability and appeal of plant-based meat products...
Seven Researchers Receive U of G Research Excellence Awards
Seven University of Guelph researchers have received the 2023 U of G Research Excellence Awards.
Dr. Ataharul Chowdhury leads an interdisciplinary research platform to mobilize knowledge and skills to counteract misinformation in agri-food, rural and climate change domains and help improve the well-being of agri-food and rural communities worldwide.
Dr. Jennifer Geddes-McAlister uses mass spectrometry to study proteins involved in plant and human interactions with disease-causing pathogens and aims to...
Ontario Agri-Food Alliance to Manage New Swine Research Centre in Elora
The University of Guelph opened the new $20-million Ontario Swine Research Centre to advance research and innovation in pork production. Funded by the Government of Ontario, Ontario’s pork industry, and the Agricultural Research Institute of Ontario (ARIO), the centre is part of a province-wide research network managed by U of G through the Ontario Agri-Food Innovation Alliance...
University of Guelph Researchers Receive More than $20 Million in Federal Funding
University of Guelph researchers will receive over $20.4 million in federal funding for diverse studies on topics from wildfires to AI and Indigenous self-determination. The support is part of a $960-million national research investment, announced by Minister Randy Boissonnault on behalf of Ministers François-Philippe Champagne and Mark Holland to advance science and innovation across Canada...
U of G Research Fnds Bipolar Disorder Is Neurodevelopment in Origin
A University of Guelph study led by Dr. Jasmin Lalonde’s lab provides strong evidence that bipolar disorder has neurodevelopmental origins. Researchers compared stem cell-derived neural progenitor cells from individuals with and without bipolar disorder, finding significant genetic differences. They also observed that bipolar cells replicated more slowly, moved more, and had longer connections, suggesting altered brain development processes...
U of G Experts Have Developed a User-Friendly Food Safety Toolbox
University of Guelph researchers, led by Dr. Keith Warriner, helped develop a global web-based food safety toolbox. The resource outlines key food safety management practices -- from hygiene to hazard analysis -- to guide farmers, processors, retailers, and inspectors. Also involving Dr. Jeff Farber and Dr. Lawrence Goodridge, the...
