Get to know Peter Pelka and his vision for the future of vaccine research
August 2, 2024 —
In studying how adenovirus interacts with the host cell, Peter Pelka a professor at the department of microbiology and his team, explore how they can learn more about cancer development using the virus. Pelka is one of the prominent researchers who has participated in establishing the Prairie Pandemic Preparedness Hub, including the University of Manitoba, Alberta, Calgary and Saskatchewan. The hub has recently received $57 million for both research and infrastructure aspects from the Government of Canada to lead Canada toward independence in vaccine research and manufacturing.

From a fundamental discovery in a chemistry lab to a novel product for the market
July 18, 2024 —
It all started when John Sorensen, a chemistry professor, and his research team discovered an enzyme with an interesting reaction, a difficult step in the organic synthesis laboratory. The reaction normally requires multiple steps and many reagents without the same yields. But with the enzyme, it could be done in a single step in great condition. The discovery then sparked conversations about commercialization among the research team and how it could be put somewhere on a store shelf.
