CONTRIBUTING TO COMMUNITIES

SHAPING ALBERTA

CHANGING THE WORLD

U of A students in eight different health-care disciplines participate in the SHINE (Student Health Initiative for the Needs of Edmonton) Youth Clinic, providing free health services to this underserved population.

It was knowledge that helped put Alberta on the map. If today the province is known worldwide for its energy resources, it is thanks to the dreams and visions of past U of A faculty and alumni. In the 1920s, engineering professor Karl Clark created the hot water process for separating bitumen from oilsands. In 1947, led by geology professor Charlie Stelck’s insight to search for oil and gas near ancient coral reefs, former U of A students helped to discover Leduc No. 1 and Alberta’s Pembina Field in 1953.

Today the U of A actively contributes to energy-related advances and has become a world leader on ways to reduce the environmental impact of extraction.

The U of A is considered one of the world’s top research universities. We have 336 teaching and research agreements with governments and partner institutions in 50 countries.

Here are just a few examples of how our discoveries have made an impact:

1921: Played a key role in discovering insulin by refining the crude pancreatic extract obtained by other researchers so that it could be used in humans.

Almost eighty years later: Developed the Edmonton Protocol islet cell transplant method that is known around the world and is improving lives for many Type 1 diabetics.

1950s–1970s: Conducted research that paved the way for new antibiotics and blood reagent drugs to prevent organ transplant rejection and improved treatments for leukemia and hemophilia.

Discovered how carbohydrates bind to proteins—crucial to everything from immunology to cancer.

1978: Proved brain development depends on dietary fatty acid and, over the next 30 years, improved the brain functioning of millions of children worldwide by determining the ideal amount and types of fatty acids to include in infant formula.

1991: Granted the first international patent for the first antiviral therapy for hepatitis B, leading to treatments that save many lives every day.

1995: Developed the world’s first commercial medical application of nanotechnology: a stable form of silver that could be made into a bandage for treating burns and other wounds. These dressings are now used all over the world.

2010: The Li Ka Shing Institute of Virology places the U of A at the cutting edge of global virology research. This research is aimed at developing drugs, vaccines and diagnostic tests that will enhance global security and reduce the impact of viral infections on human health and the world economy.

On February 13, 1947, the Leduc No. 1 well made a huge oil strike, leading to Western Canada’s first major oil boom.

According to the 2009 Times Higher Education-QS World University Ranking, the U of A ranked 24th in North Americaand 59th in the world

The Community Service-Learning Program involves U of A students applying their skills in a variety of community organizations. For example, Sophia Barry, a third-year fine-arts student volunteers teaching music at an inner-city elementary school.

There’s a good reason why the Butanerds caused a stir at MIT. This team of bright students from the faculties of science, engineering and medicine attempted to engineer E.coli bacteria to produce butanol, an alternative biofuel. Less of a pollutant than gasoline, more energy dense than other biofuels and directly compatible with existing vehicles, bacterially-produced butanol could mean great things for the environment.

He is a leading authority in the study of the Earth’s magnetosphere, the outermost layer of our atmosphere, and one of the newest inductees to Canada’s Top 40 Under 40. His innovative work on space activities creates enormous scientific and economic opportunities for Canada and spans from space exploration, to the mitigation of space weather effects to improving the utilization of space for the benefit of Canadians. As co-director of the U of A’s Institute for Space Science, Exploration and Technology, Dr. Mann also heads up a series of youth programs, including the U of A’s Canada-Norway student exchange program, which provides opportunities for hands-on research experience in sounding rockets and payload instrument design.

Dr. Hasan Uludag (chemical and materials engineering) and his team are working with a building block protein produced in early childhood to help strengthen and regenerate adult bones. Thanks to Dr. Uludag and his team of researchers, potentially life-threatening, late-life bone fractures could become a thing of the past. The team’s goal is to trick the proteins so that they are deposited directly to fragile bones that need reinforcement via a series of injections. The U of A is a world pioneer in attempting to bring this treatment to market.

“ My dream is to become a physician who can really empower people to take better care of their health before they become sick. I am passionate about primary prevention of illness and public-health initiatives; through the University of Alberta’s Skin Cancer Awareness program and as the Class of 2013’s Community Health Representative, I enjoy talking to younger students about simple things that they can do to improve their quality of life, like wearing sunscreen and exercising daily. In addition, I have learned through the U of A’s Patient Centred Care program how to show people that they can be their own best health care provider. In practise, I want to emphasize the prevention of illness over the treatment of avoidable problems.”
