He has developed a novel single-molecule platform that makes it possible to observe and study proteins that allow life-threatening viruses such as hepatitis C and HIV to reproduce, often mutating into forms that are resistant to known drug therapies. Gidi is effectively creating "movies" of individual biological machines in action, with the goal of understanding how the viruses reproduce and how they respond to drugs.</p> Wed, 17 Feb 2016 03:50:23 +0000 audrey.moores@mcgill.ca 851 at /chemistry /chemistry/channels/news/prof-audrey-moores-receives-2016-cnc-iupac-travel-award-258171 <p>The CNC-IUPAC award is given every year to 4 young chemists in Canada to attend an IUPAC conference. Audrey Moores will be attended the 6th International IUPAC Conference on Green Chemistry taking place in Venice, Italy, in September 2016. This conference is unique in that, in addition to its research focus, society stakeholders, entrepreneurs and educational bodies actively participate in the event and contribute.</p> <p>聽<a href="http://www.cnc-iupac.ca/awards16_e.html">2016 CNC-IUPAC travel awardees </a></p> Wed, 27 Jan 2016 20:24:04 +0000 audrey.moores@mcgill.ca 842 at /chemistry /chemistry/channels/news/mcgill-chemistry-team-second-prize-2015-dobson-cup-251502 <p>On May 14th 2015, E-Innovation, a team all composed of 苹果淫院 Chemistry staff and students, was awarded the second place of the 2015 苹果淫院 Dobson Cup Start-UP Competition for entrepreneurs in the Innovation Driven Track.
