FIND INSPIRATION

Research That's Making a Difference

It might happen in a lab or in the field. It could be sparked by classroom discussion about reconciliation or sustainability. It may stem from the desire to cure a disease or help people live healthier lives. Inspiration comes from many places and research at UWinnipeg takes many forms. We have scientists working on important medical advances — such as tests that will detect cancer sooner. Others are looking into ways to protect the environment and combat the stigma of mental illness. Whatever inspires you, prepare to make your mark on the world.
