Her&nbsp;transformational advances in tissue engineering have resulted in new methods for growing human tissue in the lab. Her team was among the first in the world to use electrical impulses and specially designed bioreactors to guide heart cells to assemble into a structure in which they beat independently of a body. The team also designed an injectable tissue patch that could be used to repair hearts, livers or other organs damaged by disease or injury. These technologies are the basis of the spinoff companies&nbsp;T<a href="https://tarabiosystems.com/">ARA Biosystems</a> and Quthero.&nbsp;</p> <p>Among Radisic’s many honours are t<a href="https://news.engineering.utoronto.ca/professor-milica-radisic-receives-steacie-prize/">he Steacie Prize</a> and Steacie Fellowship, the 2019 Research and Development Medal from the Ontario Society of Professional Engineers and Professional Engineers Ontario&nbsp;and the 2018 YWCA Toronto Woman of Distinction award.</p> <h3><a href="https://news.engineering.utoronto.ca/milica-radisic-receives-killam-fellowship/">Read more about Radisic and her Killam Research Fellowship</a></h3> </div> <div class="field field--name-field-source field--type-string field--label-hidden field__item">FASE</div> <div class="field field--name-field-top-story-hub-page- field--type-boolean field--label-above"> <div class="field__label">Top Story (Hub page)</div> <div class="field__item">Off</div> </div> Tue, 26 May 2020 14:00:12 +0000 lanthierj 164710 at Joseph Heath receives Killam Research Fellowship /celebrates/joseph-heath-receives-killam-research-fellowship <span class="field field--name-title field--type-string field--label-hidden">Joseph Heath receives Killam Research Fellowship</span> <div class="field field--name-field-awards-type field--type-entity-reference field--label-hidden field__items"> <div class="field__item"><a href="/celebrates/awards-type/research-innovation" hreflang="en">Research &amp; Innovation</a></div> </div> <span class="field field--name-uid field--type-entity-reference field--label-hidden"><span>lanthierj</span></span> <span class="field field--name-created field--type-created field--label-hidden"><time datetime="2020-05-26T10:00:02-04:00" title="Tuesday, May 26, 2020 - 10:00" class="datetime">Tue, 05/26/2020 - 10:00</time> </span> <div class="field field--name-field-awards-people field--type-entity-reference field--label-hidden field__items"> <div class="field__item"><a href="/celebrates/awards-people/faculty" hreflang="en">Faculty</a></div> </div> <div class="field field--name-field-awards-tags field--type-entity-reference field--label-hidden field__items"> <div class="field__item"><a href="/celebrates/awards-tags/killam-research-fellowship" hreflang="en">Killam Research Fellowship</a></div> <div class="field__item"><a href="/celebrates/awards-tags/department-philosophy" hreflang="en">Department of Philosophy</a></div> <div class="field__item"><a href="/celebrates/awards-tags/faculty-arts-science" hreflang="en">Faculty of Arts &amp; Science</a></div> </div> <div class="field field--name-field-image-orientation field--type-list-string field--label-hidden field__item">landscape</div> <div class="field field--name-field-image field--type-image field--label-hidden field__item"> <img loading="lazy" src="/sites/default/files/media/joseph-heath-utoronto-philosophy.jpg" width="750" height="500" alt="Joseph Heath"> </div> <div class="clearfix text-formatted field field--name-field-cutline-long field--type-text-long field--label-hidden field__item">(photo by Graham Powell)</div> <div class="clearfix text-formatted field field--name-body field--type-text-with-summary field--label-hidden field__item"><p><strong>Joseph Heat</strong>h, a professor in the Faculty of Arts &amp; Science’s <a href="https://philosophy.utoronto.ca/">department of philosophy</a> has been awarded a Killam Research Fellowship from <a href="https://canadacouncil.ca/press/2020/05/the-canada-council-for-the-arts-reveals-the-2020-killam-program-winners">the Canada Council for the Arts</a>.</p> <p>“I am pleased and honored to have been awarded a Killam Research Fellowship,” says Heath. “The project that I will be working on is entirely new, yet also represents a return to my roots as a student of critical theory.”</p> <p>The two-year fellowship, valued at $70,000 per year, is intended to support research projects of broad significance and widespread interest.&nbsp;Heath's&nbsp;project will address a foundational issue in modern scholarship –&nbsp;how to criticize society.&nbsp;He will create a handbook of best critical practices for social scientists, emphasizing a need for social critics to be transparent concerning their own evaluative standards.&nbsp;</p> <p>“Throughout my career, I have been active not only in philosophical research, but also in public debates on a wide range of issues.
