Exploring various approaches for investigating the mechanism of native diphtheriae toxin production by a C. diphtheriae strain: From –omics to nutritional to process approaches

Diphtheria is still a disease causing significant morbidity and mortality in people worldwide that did not received vaccination or suffer from incomplete immunization. The disease is due to a powerful toxin produced by the pathogenic bacterium Corynebacterium diphtheria. A good vaccine already exists but its production is rather complex and involves several steps: cultivation of the microorganism, extraction, concentration and inactivation of the toxin followed by extensive purification of the inactivated toxin (toxoid). Much research is still needed in order to increase the vaccine yield, this, to permit a significant reduction in production costs and to deliver a more reproducible and robust production process. Success will translate into a more affordable vaccine for people, especially people in underdeveloped countries. TO BE CONT’D

Validation of salivary heme oxygenase-1 as a biomarker of idiopathic Parkinson disease

The diagnosis of Parkinson disease (PD), the second most common neurodegenerative disorder in the developed world, is based entirely on clinical criteria which are labour-intensive to apply and often inconclusive. Based on promising initial data from our laboratory, we will determine whether biochemical measurement of the enzyme, heme oxygenase-1 (HO-1) in saliva samples distinguishes PD from normal control subjects and persons with other neurological disorders. Positive results would address an unmet clinical need by allowing rapid and accurate diagnosis of this condition and possibly monitoring of effective disease-modifying medications as they become available. A saliva-based test would be commercially competitive and offer important advantages over other bodily fluid samples (blood, cerebrospinal fluid, etc.) and brain imaging techniques because collection and analysis of saliva is non-invasive, relatively inexpensive, and would not require advanced training of personnel.

Freshwater Oil Spill Remediation Study at the IISD-Experimental Lakes Area: (The FOReSt Project)

The Freshwater Oil Spill Remediation Study (FOReST) project will use small contained oil spills in enclosed environments within a lake to study examine the effectiveness of shoreline cleanup procedures and potential ecological impacts of oil spills. The resilience of freshwater aquatic ecosystems to recover from a spill will also be examined. We will examine the ability of bacterial communities to respond to the introduction of oil and biodegrade petroleum compounds. Results from the proposed project will be used to develop scientifically-defensible cleanup procedures and to direct monitoring for potential effects.

Apprentissage profond pour la reconnaissance de marques et de types de véhicules

On assiste ces dernières années à des performances de calcul des processeurs graphiques permettant le traitement en temps réel d’images et de vidéos. Ce projet exploite ce type de technologie afin de développer un module embarqué pour des applications d’apprentissage profond et de vision par ordinateur.
Un des objectifs principaux du projet consiste à développer des algorithmes d’intelligence artificielle pour la reconnaissance automatique de marques et types de véhicules en temps réel à partir de vidéos routières. Cet objectif nécessite deux phases : (a) de constituer une base d’apprentissage de véhicules suffisamment large et variée pour une prédiction optimale; (b) de développer des algorithmes d’apprentissage profond spécifiques à la reconnaissance de marques et types de véhicules.

Intraday Trading and Analysis and Monitoring Trader Behavior

Electronic exchanges are venues that provide immediacy for those who need to find a counterparty to their trades. Orders of various types arrive in the market at ever increasing speeds, and in this era of high-frequency trading (HFT), institutional investors are often disadvantaged because of their high-latency relative to faster traders. To level the playing field somewhat, this proposal seeks to understand what features are present in the market when there is normal and abnormal trading activity, and to provide a tool for TMX and its clients to detect when the trading environment is “toxic”. In addition, the proposed project aims to classify brokers/traders (into hedgers, speculators or HFT arbitrageurs), predict traders’ behavior and assess whether traders are colluding.

Research into the Design and Development of Inclusive Digital Media Technologies

This project, a collaboration between Ryerson University and Pear Square, will be researching what would enable businesses and organizations to provide resources efficiently to students with disabilities. The outstanding issue is mainly a lack of standardized work flow methodologies that promote accessible development from the beginning stages of any project for large institutions. The research proposed for this project will be to formulate, test, and acquire feedback on experimental workflows that accommodate a variety of accessible digital media systems. The research conducted for this project will provide Pear Square with a comprehensive insight of how accessible systems can be used as a resource for assisting students with disabilities to reach their goals.

Predictive Control Approach for Converted Multi Zone Residential Buildings with Central HVAC Systems

The current project aims to study a novel energy management system for residential heating ventilating and air conditioning (HVAC) system. Independently controlled wireless air damping vents will adjust the air flow in different zones of the building allowing independent control of the temperature which results in enhanced thermal comfort and energy savings. The intern will collaborate with the partner organization on studying a unique state-of-the-art predictive model to control the damping factor of the vents within fully closed to fully open range. The partner organization will benefit from the expertise of both the supervisor and the intern in HVAC and thermo-fluids to achieve a more effective control strategy for the system.

Linking Animals, Social Justice and Social work

Speciesism – discrimination by species – is recognized by some moral philosophers as a social justice issue. It is a problem for animals and humans alike since studies show that how we treat animals is related to how we treat each other and to public health. We aim to raise awareness of speciesism among social workers – a group likely to respond to social justice issues – to see if they become more willing to advocate for animals. Animal advocates, social workers and I form the participatory action research team. We will develop and deliver an education module to BC social workers in focus groups and hold follow-up individual interviews. Raised awareness may lead to behavioural change in social workers and policy change in social work institutions and beyond. This project will expand the knowledge of Vancouver Foundation staff and assist in outreach activities to groups interested in human-animal relations.

Glucocorticoids and Oxidative Stress in Bipolar Disorder

This project is on understanding the biological processes that underlie Bipolar Disorder (BD). BD is associated with dysfunctional oxygen metabolism and energy production, leading to the excess production of reactive oxygen molecules, which damage or alter the function of brain cells. Because BD is also associated with increased stress response systems, the current study aims to examine the links between stress hormones and oxidative stress. In seeking to better understand the processes in which this disease operates, we hope to contribute to the development of improved biomedical treatments of BD. BC Mental Health & Addiction Services is an agency that seeks to further our understanding and treatment of psychiatric illness through multidisciplinary research collaborations. This internship provides an opportunity for the institute to strengthen partnerships with other departments, professionals, and mental health programs to deliver world-class research to the field.

Antigen tracking of the DepoVaxTM-R9F cancer vaccine using MRI

Immunovaccine Inc. is developing cancer vaccines using the company’s DepoVaxTM vaccine technology. DepoVax is a patented formulation that displays excellent tumor control and provides a long lasting and specific effect. The way by which this vaccine exerts its effect is unclear but the translational team at Immunovaccine is determined to discover its mechanism of action and why their proprietary DepoVax technology delivers superior responses in comparison to other vaccines. This project will aim to figure out, using preclinical models, how the vaccine’s components are being transported within the immune system and which cells are responsible for this transport. The vaccine components will be labeled so that it can be tracked using magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) in the presence or absence of immune cells at the frontline of the immune system, like dendritic cells and macrophages.
