Six teams of researchers from across McMaster’s Faculties have been awarded $20,000 each from the Interdisciplinary Research Fund (IRF).
Project Title: Development of a point-of-care microfluidic chip for rapid diagnosis of Von Willebrand disease.
The fund, now in its second year, supports research projects involving two or more Faculties and is intended to build and strengthen academic, industry and community networks to better position research teams to apply for major external grants. The competition attracted 31 applications including more than 115 researchers.
