One of the most important research and teaching facilities at the University of Manitoba relies on a critical and non-renewable resource: helium.⁠
⁠
The Prairie Regional Nuclear Magnetic Resonance (NMR) Facility in the Department of Chemistry helps researchers study the structure and behaviour of molecules and materials. The facility supports industrial partners and academics. It also gives University of Manitoba students valuable hands-on learning opportunities.⁠

What if the answer to improving the quality of life and combating neurodegenerative diseases could also help answer one of humanity’s oldest questions: what is the origin of life? The connection lies in the evolutionary field of protein editing in biotechnology.

Dr. Ned Budisa, a professor and (Tier 1) Canada Research Chair in chemical synthetic biology at the University of Manitoba, and other researchers including Dr. Hamidreza Karbalaeiheidari, a visiting professor at the department of chemistry, have discovered a new approach to protein editing.
