The Canada Foundation for Innovation (CFI) announced on December 16 that it is awarding Concordia $108,052 for its research in the area of biomechanics.

The grant goes to the research project Infrastructure for Advanced Non-Intrusive Time Resolved Investigation of Cardiovascular Flows, headed by Lyes Kadem from the Department of Mechanical and Industrial Engineering.

This investment is made under the CFI’s Leaders Opportunity Fund (LOF), which this year granted $59 million in support for 262 projects in 40 Canadian research institutions, allowing talented researchers to conduct cutting-edge research in world-class facilities.
