Events

We are building a research network in the Ottawa region and connecting academia, government and industry - one event at the time!

The TEAM Hub events foster a vibrant atmosphere for forging new relationships and strengthening existing ones. TEAM Hub members, trainees and attendees expanded their professional networks, and we are eager to see the outcomes of these efforts.

Revolutionizing Our Understanding of Tissue Structure

The Team

We are a group of experts from different disciplines working together to tackle one of the biggest challenges of modern times: the characterization and recreation of tissue microenvironments.

Research

We seek answers to questions related to tissue homeostasis and disease. New technologies resulting from our work will facilitate diagnosis and treatment of many chronic diseases.

Infrastructure

Our state-of-the-art microscopy and analytical techniques allow us to analyze the complex biochemical and biophysical processes that occur in tissue microenvironments.

Training

By providing research opportunities and developing educational programs for the larger community, we are helping Ontario and, indeed, all of Canada build expertise in emerging but increasingly important areas of research, including tissue engineering and imaging.

Core Research Members

The TEAM Hub is composed of experts from diverse areas, ranging from Health Sciences to Physics and from Engineering to Biology. Meet the team behind this ambitious research.
