Pleased to share that our Associate Dean of Graduate Studies, Dr. @BingChen_NRPOP has been appointed Interim Dean of @MUN_Engineering effective January 1, 2025, until December 31, 2025.
We look forward to continuing our support to Dr. Chen in his new role in the new year.
For the 3rd year, the @src_rsc has recognized a group of @MemorialU researchers — one of the country’s highest academic honours.
Dr. Uta Passow @munocean is a tier 1 CRC in biological oceanographic processes & a researcher in biological oceanography. 🌊

Cheers for the success of the PEOPLE 2024 Symposium! @people_ntwrk 2025 International Conference will be back to St. John's. Stay Tuned! @MUN_Engineering
Thanks the organization team led by Dr. Passow and the great talks delivered by our Banting scholars, Drs. Zhu and Yang @MinYang101, and the PIs during the great event funded by @people_ntwrk and @MemorialUSci#PlasticForum2024
The 2024 #NobelPrize laureates in chemistry Demis Hassabis and John Jumper have successfully utilised artificial intelligence to predict the structure of almost all known proteins.
In 2020, Hassabis and Jumper presented an AI model called AlphaFold2. With its help, they have been able to predict the structure of virtually all the 200 million proteins that researchers have identified. Since their breakthrough, AlphaFold2 has been used by more than two million people from 190 countries. Among a myriad of scientific applications, researchers can now better understand antibiotic resistance and create images of enzymes that can decompose plastic.
