The Uludag lab secured a Research Tools & Instruments (RTI) grant from the Natural Sciences and Engineering Council of Canada (NSERC) to acquire a Isothermal Titration Calorimeter (ITC). The project will be funded for $135,000 with a departmental support of $10,000. The following collaborators are part of this grant application: Philip Choi (CME), John Shaw (CME), Larry Unsworth (CME & NRC), John Nychka (CME), William McCaffrey (CME), and Afsaneh Lavasanifar (Pharmacy & Pharmaceutical Sciences).
