BRINGING RESEARCH TO LIFE University of Manitoba researchers continue to earn national and international recognition for work that is improving our health, advancing our technology, and providing new insights about ourselves and our world . With the support of our partners in government, the private sector, community organizations and other research institutions, our scientists, scholars, artists and engineers are finding innovative ways to address some of the most important challenges facing Canada and the world in the 21st century .

Facing page: At the Richardson Centre for Functional Foods and Nutraceuticals, director Peter Jones, Canada Research Chair in nutrition and functional foods, and researchers from the Faculties of Agricultural and Food Sciences, Human Ecology, Medicine and Pharmacy are working together to develop and test new health products derived from prairie crops. Opened in the spring of 2006, this $31 million facility is the most advanced centre of its kind in Canada.

In India, the University of Manitoba is leading one of the world’s largest programs for HIV prevention among sex workers . Over the next four years, the “Corridors Project,” led by James Blanchard, community health sciences and Canada Research Chair in epidemiology and global public health, will receive US $5 .9 million from the Bill & Melinda Gates Foundation . The project will provide prevention programs and services for female sex workers and high risk men along James Blanchard, community health sciences, leads the HIV/AIDS project in India. the migration corridors between rural areas of northern Karnataka and the urban centres Canadian projects are also supported by the Researchers are examining the immune of southern Maharashtra .

Global genomics collaboration University of Manitoba scientists are playing a key role in a worldwide genomics project that will advance our knowledge of genetically-based diseases. Geoff Hicks, biochemistry and medical genetics, and Canada Research Chair in functional genomics is co-leader of the North American Conditional Mouse Mutagenesis Project, which received $22 .6 million in funding from Genome Canada, the Province of Manitoba, and a variety of international partners . Hicks directs the Mammalian Functional Genomics Centre at the Manitoba Institute of Cell Biology, a joint institute of the University of Manitoba and CancerCare Manitoba, and is a recognized leader in the use of “knockout mice”, specially-bred animals in which one gene has been removed . His new project is the North American arm of the International Knockout Mouse Project, a worldwide effort to create knockout mice for every gene in the mouse genome . Since mice and humans are genetically similar, this project will shed new light on the role of genetic changes in the development of thousands of human diseases .

29 ONE vision

UNDERPINNING SCHOLARSHIP, RESEARCH AND CREATIVITY WITH RENEWED BRICKS AND MORTAR The results of the most recent capital campaign, together with the ongoing generosity of donors and partnerships with the Province of Manitoba, are starting to unfold . Over the past year, the physical face of the University of Manitoba has changed with the construction of six new buildings— the William Norrie Centre, the Engineering and Information Technology Complex, the Richardson Centre for Functional Foods and Nutraceuticals, the Industrial Technology Centre, One Research Road and the Environmental Safety Building — along with a myriad of renovations and upgrades to cables, classrooms and administrative systems . Building and renewing quality facilities and reliable infrastructure is fundamental to supporting the University of Manitoba’s commitment to being a leader in advancing knowledge and understanding, and attracting leading students, faculty and staff .

Facing page: Computer science department head John Bate and Engineering dean Doug Ruth are looking forward to seeing new connections forged between engineering and IT students and faculty, now that they share a leading-edge facility. The $56 million Engineering and Information Technology Complex was designed with tech-savvy research and teaching in mind for students like Darcy Harrison, computer science, who spent a co-op work term with production company Frantic Films working on visual effects for Hollywood films like Superman Returns, and Jane Polak Scowcroft, engineering, who spent a summer in Tanzania with Engineers Without Borders, developing and adapting low cost technologies for rural communities.

Because the self-declaration is voluntary, and because only a limited number of admission cycles have been completed, the numbers reported would be less than the total population of Canadian Aboriginal students on campus. 2003-2004 data has been restated based on increased efforts to improve on the collection of declaration data. Data for years prior to 2003-2004 are incomplete, and therefore faculty breakdowns are not comparable. 5. Operating Grant excludes first claims and grant in lieu of tuition.
