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.

本主席将探讨如何设计聚合物表面微小结构的层次结构并自行组装，以创建推动医学和海洋科学发展的实际应用。这笔交易将使 Walker 能够领导 NSERC 的生物等离子系统战略网络 (BiopSys) 开发加速肺癌和白血病诊断并改善预后的设备。它将联合 20 名加拿大教师并为 60 名学生提供培训。申请人还将开发新型聚合物纳米材料作为水产养殖网箱和光伏设备的无毒涂层。这种纳米技术研究对加拿大有利，并且是多伦多大学战略研究计划的一部分。
