Research

Formerly known as the Atlantic Health Promotion Research Centre, Dal's Healthy Populations Institute is tackling illness prevention and health promotion issues locally and globally.

Established by Dal's Department of Obstetrics & Gynaecology more than a decade ago, Atlantic Assisted Reproductive Therapies recently became the first and only fertility clinic in Canada to adopt the most up-to-date technology for assessing and preparing eggs and embryos for fertility procedures.

It began as theoretical quantum physics research made possible by a partnership between Dalhousie and Lockheed Martin. Now QRA, the Halifax-based spin-out company based on that research, is developing groundbreaking software tools to help engineers around the world detect design errors in complex systems.

After finishing as runner-up at the regional Three-Minute Thesis (3MT) finals at Memorial University, Biomedical Engineering student Ubong Peters is now up for the national title — and you can vote now to support him in the People's Choice competition.

A cross-disciplinary team of Dal researchers has studied various bullying prevention programs and developed a toolkit to help improve the lives of Nova Scotia children while also streamlining school board resources.
