This Chair will explore how hierarchies of tiny structures in polymer surfaces can be designed to assemble themselves to create practical applications advancing medical and marine sciences. It will enable Walker to lead NSERC's Strategic Network for Bioplasmonic Systems (BiopSys) to develop devices that accelerate the diagnosis of lung cancer and leukemia, and improve prognosis. It will unite 20 Canadian faculty and provide training to 60 students. The applicant will also develop novel polymer nanomaterials as non-toxic coatings for aquaculture cage nets and photovoltaic devices. Such nanotechnology research is of benefit to Canada and integral to U of T's Strategic Research Plan.

这位教席将探索如何设计聚合物表面微小结构的层次结构来自我组装，以创建推动医学和海洋科学的实际应用。这将使沃克能够领导NSERC的生物浆系统战略网络(BiopSys)开发加快肺癌和白血病诊断并改善预后的设备。它将联合20名加拿大教职员工，并为60名学生提供培训。申请者还将开发新型聚合物纳米材料，作为水产养殖网箱网和光伏设备的无毒涂料。这样的纳米技术研究对加拿大有利，也是密歇根大学战略研究计划的组成部分。
