Participation in the operation of the biobank at the USask Biobank

The USask biobank currently specializes in oncology specimen collection. We cover all steps from biospecimen sample collection (biopsy, tissue, blood and ascites fluids), processing, quality control and storage. We also coordinate new release samples for the USask and Pan-Canadian project research teams. All patient data, samples and associated data must be captured, traceable and updated in the ATiM biobank database.
During this period, the student will be invited to familiarize themselves with all the operational and administrative activities of the biobank. The student can participate in writing new, reviewing and updating procedures. We also have opportunities for expansion of sample collection in which the student may participate and will be expected to conduct literature searches and lead project set-up meetings during oral and written presentations.

Evolutionary Significance of Hybrid Zones on Avian Biodiversity from the Neotropics

Tropical forests house an exceptionally high biological diversity and despite great interest in factors that might drive the formation of high species richness, little is understood about how this diversity arose. In the Neotropics, rivers appear to delimit the geographic ranges of closely related avian species, and are generally believed to have been important in in promoting species formation by acting as dispersal barriers to populations on either side. A key question is whether or not reproductive isolation is accumulating between taxa that are separated by rivers over most of their geographic range, but have narrow contact zones in headwater regions. These zones are defined as regions in which members of genetically distinct populations mix and produce offspring of mixed ancestry. Thus, in my project I will explore the genetic architecture of two avian contact zones from the Brazilian Amazon using cutting-edge genetic methods to provide a detailed analysis of the evolutionary process in one of the most diverse ecosystems on Earth.

Effect of altitude on cardiovascular responses to voluntary apnea in Nepali Sherpa

Our lab has demonstrated that voluntary apneas (i.e., breath-holds) at high altitude cause decreases in heart rate in lowlander populations. Apneas at altitude also cause cardiac arrhythmias in a majority of lowlanders. Unlike lowlanders, native highlanders (e.g., Nepali Sherpa) do not get the same decreased heart rate and cardiac arrhythmias during voluntary apneas at high altitude. However, a recent study showed that mountaineers climbing Mount Everest—almost all of which were Sherpa—got many cardiac arrhythmias over a multi-day ascent. Like apnea, exercise is an autonomic nervous system stressor, and these data therefore contradict our findings. I will therefore re-assess the cardiac responses to apneas in Sherpa at low and graded high altitude to uncover the progressive effect of altitude on the heart’s response to nervous system stress. Uncovering the physiological mechanisms described above provides new insights into the adaptations of the Sherpa to altitude. This project furthers Dr. Steinback’s research into physiological mechanisms during apneas. This project also furthers Dr. Mahotra’s clinical understanding via the population-specific outcomes not available through research in lowlanders. We hope the physiology we uncover informs future clinical research with meaningful impacts on the health of Nepali Sherpa.

Design and Generation of Boryl Radicals for Direct Deoxygenation of Alcohols via C–O Homolysis

The hydroxy group (–OH) is well represented in organic chemistry and is present in 37% of commercial therapeutics, 69% of natural products and numerous biomasses. Despite their ubiquitous nature, the development of methods to directly transform hydroxy groups in a mild and less wasteful way has been seriously neglected. This, therefore, pushes for a method to interface organoboron chemistry with photoredox catalysis to achieve the direct activation of hydroxy groups for its functionalization with boryl radicals. Our lab has recently developed a new boronic ester that could potentially undergo photochemical oxidation. We anticipate that this Xpin-protected boronate (Bxpin) has the potential to generate a boryl radical via photoredox catalysis for alcohol abstraction to generate an alkyl radical. This alkyl radical could then undergo a wide variety of radical addition processes such as the Giese-type reaction, the Minisci reaction, acylation, and metallaphotoredox cross-coupling. The unique reactivity in this proposed project will help illuminate our fundamental understanding of photochemical C–O bond cleavage and boryl radical formation.

Temperature Optimization in CEA Cannabis Production

Lighting and heating remain high-cost energy considerations in controlled environment agriculture, whether for food or medicinal plant production, yet how these parameters affect highly valued phytochemical profiles in Cannabis sativa inflorescence and subsequent cannabis products remains largely unexplored in industrial settings. This information could prove useful for licensed producers of cannabis or indoor food producers in Canada alike, where alterations to environmental control during plant growth might greatly reduce operational costs while boosting crop quality. Research objectives comprise determining how differences in daytime cultivation temperature affect plant growth/development parameters and cannabinoid profiles (THC and CBD). The effect of cultivation day temperature on photosynthetic rate, transpiration rate, and stomata conductance in cannabis plants will be investigated using the LICOR 6800. Additionally, energy consumption between HPS and LED lights during the cannabis flowering stage will be compared and modeled using historic kW usage and environmental control data. By collaborating with Cielo Verde Inc. as they shift from conventional high-pressure sodium (HPS) lighting to light- emitting diodes (LEDs) in their indoor production facility, our research will permit real-time analyses of environmental control effects on crop yield and quality, while assessing energy consumption in an indoor production facility for medicinal plants.

Simulation-Based Factory Layout Design and Workflow Optimization for Offsite Construction

Off-site construction involves prefabricating building components in a controlled environment, allowing for enhanced efficiency, quality, and sustainability. This research addresses critical challenges in the development of manufacturing facilitylayoutsfor Roberts Group, Prince Edward Island(PEI). By employing digital simulation approaches, the project aims to design and optimize factory layouts and workflows, reducingmaterial and
streamline production processes to support modular building components. The project responds to PEI’s housing crisis, where demand for affordable housing. The anticipated production of over 200 modular units annually will directly contribute to meeting local housing needs. The collaboration with the University of New Brunswick’s Off-
site Construction Research Centre will generate best practices and methodologies that can be scaled across the industry. This project not only supports Roberts Group’s immediate operational goalsbut also establishes transferable frameworks for sustainable off-site construction.

Interactions entre la végétation boréale alluviale et la dynamique fluviale en contexte de pergélisol sur la Beaver Creek River, Yukon

Ce projet de recherche vise à étudier les impacts du changement climatique sur la Beaver Creek River, au Yukon, au Canada. Dans cette région froide, le pergélisol (sol gelé en permanence) se dégrade sous l’effet de l’augmentation des températures, particulièrement marquée aux niveau des pôles, ce qui peut fragiliser les berges des rivières, modifier les écosystèmes et affecter les infrastructures humaines. A l’aide de photographies aériennes, d’images satellites, d’observations sur le terrain et d’analyses sédimentaires en laboratoire, le projet étudie les changements survenus au cours des 60 dernières années. Les résultats aideront par exemple à déterminer si la végétation, qui se développe à mesure que le pergélisol dégèle, stabilise les berges ou, au contraire, contribue à leur érosion. Sur le plan scientifique, il apportera de nouvelles connaissances sur les impacts du réchauffement climatique dans les régions périglaciaires, qui représentent une zone sensible et relativement peu étudiée. Les résultats pourront être utilisés pour mieux anticiper les risques liés à l’érosion, aux inondations et à la dégradation des écosystèmes au niveau de ces rivières arctiques. Pour les gestionnaires et décideurs locaux, ces informations seront utiles pour réfléchir à l’entretien de certaines infrastructures, comme l’Alaska Highway.

Applied Transformative Justice Frameworks for Gender and Sexuality-Based Violence Prevention

This project involves conducting a literature review of research and popular publications on transformative justice—an approach that aims to develop responses to violence by understanding the structures of inequality outside of the current pathways of criminalization and punishment—with the aim of developing applied tools, resources, and guidelines for distribution as open access resources in both English and French on gender- and sexuality-based violence prevention. The project builds on a university-community partnership between
Éduconnexion and Concordia’s Simone de Beauvoir Institute to create a hub for resources to support and empower community organizations in under-resourced areas throughout the city of Montreal in using transformative justice approaches in their work with communities. Built out of a commitment to agency, cultural safety, and self-determination, the project centers on an understanding of the intersections between race, gender, sexuality, citizenship status, religion, ethnicity, disability, and other factors shaping the experiences of
people who are at risk of experiencing or witnessing gender- and sexuality-based violence.

Évaluation du potentiel de croissance du mélèze hybride et laricin en région boréale

Le mélèze laricin (Larix laricina) serait une espèce intéressante pour la production de matière ligneuse (Bolghari and Bertrand, 1984). Dans les années 70, un programme d’amélioration génétique a commencé et l’hybride (L. ? marschlinsii Coaz.) entre le mélèze d’Europe (L. decidua) et le mélèze du Japon (L. kaempferi) s’est avéré très performant (Perron, 2011). Cependant, contrairement au mélèze indigène capable de pousser sur une large gamme de stations (Tilton, 1976), les espèces exotiques seraient à éviter sur les sites trop humides en raison des risques de gel tardif (Robbins, 1985). Leur utilisation en région boréale n’a jamais été évaluée et il convient d’étudier le potentiel des plantations de mélèze hybride à cette latitude et de les comparer aux espèces indigènes. Pour cela, nous allons mesurer, analyser et comparer la croissance du pin gris, de l’épinette noire, des mélèzes laricins et hybrides implantés en 2007 dans un dispositif de recherche localisé dans la région écologique 5a.

Estimating brain tissue deformation from a microscope video

Epilepsy, a neurological disorder impacting millions worldwide, often requires precise surgical interventions when medications fail. The surgical procedure demands high levels of skill to remove the lesion causing epilepsy while minimizing damage to surrounding healthy tissues. Current training methods for such intricate procedures are insufficient, relying heavily on subjective assessments and limited hands-on opportunities, which have further decreased due to restrictions like reduced duty hours and the COVID-19 pandemic.
This project builds on a previously validated simulation prototype that uses calf brains to mimic the mechanical and anatomical properties of human brain tissue. The platform employs a tracking system to collect quantitative data during procedures. However, it lacks the ability to measure one of the most critical performance metrics: the force exerted by surgical instruments on brain tissue. To address this, the project introduces a novel sensorless estimation method, leveraging high-resolution optical cameras and biomechanical modeling to infer contact forces from tissue deformation observed in real-time.
This project will provide a cost-effective, realistic training solution to address gaps in neurosurgical education, enhancing skill acquisition, reducing errors, improving patient safety, and advancing competency-based surgical education.
