Evaluating Participant Satisfaction and Results Sharing in Clinical Trials

Randomized clinical trials (RCTs) are considered the gold standard for evaluating bio-medical interventions.
Their results can have important impacts on clinical practice and the development of scientific knowledge.
Often recruitment of trial participants is one of the most challenging aspects of successfully conducting a
trial. If participants are appreciated, and involved in the communication of the clinical trial results, this may
have a positive impact of future trial recruitment. Whilst clinical trials researchers may intend to share
study results with their participants, this intention is often passive with no clear plan for knowledge
dissemination. A 2018 Canadian Clinical Research Participation Survey conducted by Clinical Trials BC
(CTBC) revealed that many participants felt disconnected and underappreciated throughout their clinical
trial experience. Following the 2018 survey, to improve participant experiences, CTBC formed a Provincial
Working Group, and a Best Practices Toolkit was established to better communicate study results with
participants. Although the toolkit is currently available on the CTBC website, there is still no standardized
process in which to distribute it to the main stakeholders (i.e., clinical trial participants). The proposed
evaluation plan aims to improve the experiences of both researchers and participants in clinical trials by
producing useful and accessible scientific knowledge.

Nonlinear phasic sensing for biomimetic electronic skin: advancing sensory in prosthetic limbs and robotics

This research project aims to enhance the feeling of touch in artificial limbs and robots through a cutting-edge solution called
biomimetic electronic skin. Existing touch technologies are limited, and this study is set out to make them feel more lifelike for
amputees and more capable for robotic systems. We are developing an efficient electronic system and using machine learning
to interpret touch signals for various gestures. The results of this work could significantly improve prosthetic technology, enable
better interaction between humans and machines, and increase the quality of life for individuals with limb amputations. This
will lead to clinical trials where users’ satisfaction and performance with these advanced features will be evaluated. The insights
gained will contribute to the design of future robotic systems, making them more efficient and self-sufficient in interacting with
the world.

Biomolecular Structure Analysis to Accelerate Development of New Vaccines and Monoclonal Antibodies

Manufacturing of consistently high quality products is the commitment of pharmaceutical industry. To achieve this, new products must be thoroughly tested and the results meet government-approved product specifications. Improving existing and adopting improved analytical technologies for product testing ensure the production of safe and effective products. This is particularly critical for the manufacturing of biologic products which, relative to small molecular drugs, have a larger size, are more complex in structure and are thus more difficult to characterize. Modern instrumental analyses, including Mass Spectrometry, Nuclear Magnetic Resonance and Capillary Electrophoresis, are capable of high resolution and precision analyses of primary and higher order biomolecule structures. Using these cutting-edge technologies, we are proposing to develop new methodologies to improve biomolecule characterization. The proposed internship will provide training in these advanced technologies and thus foster the development of a talent pool of highly qualified Canadians with expertise to contribute to research-based biopharmaceutical industries.

An alternative liquid-driven pumpless micromixer for efficient therapy encapsulation in lipid-based nanoparticles

Our project focuses on developing a new device to create nanosized particles called lipid-based nanoparticles (LBNs) that can carry substances like genes, drugs, and proteins. LBNs have been successful in COVID vaccines and cancer treatments, but developing these therapies is challenging and requires specialized knowledge and equipment. To address this, we aim to create a device that can make LBNs without the need for expensive pumps, aided by alternative methods to drive fluids. The collaboration with the partner organization will accelerate the transformation of our academic solution into a commercial product, while also enhancing Innovations Galilei 2 (V1 studio)’s reputation and ability to support other promising projects. In summary, our project aims to revolutionize LBNs production, and through the partnership with Innovations Galilei 2 (V1 studio), we will have the opportunity to develop a business idea.

Research in Agri-food Competitiveness and Effectiveness in Canada

Our goals are to evaluate the effectiveness of research funding in the Canadian agri-food sector, through the lens of research outcomes and alignment with government priorities, and to benchmark the benefits of the government funding programs internationally. After building a comprehensive database of available funding across Canada, we will mobilize analytical tools to qualify and quantify potential gaps in funding. A jurisdictional scan of international comparators will also be done to inform how Canadian research and innovation compares on a global scale.

Evaluating implementation of Stepped Care 2.0 redesigned to improve access to mental health care in a non-profit community agency

System transformation efforts that optimize access to the right care at the right time with a goal to reduce wait times in
mental health services could make a difference to the lives of all Canadians. In response to the impending crisis of access
barriers to mental health care, this project will evaluate the implementation of a Stepped Care 2.0 (SC2.0) model redesigned
to strengthen mental health and addictions support by reducing wait times for intensive case management and increasing
client flow by offering more lower intensity “menu” options. The following key deliverables in the Stepped Care project will be
evaluated: (1) One-at-a-time Counselling, (2) Recovery College co-designed courses, and (3) Measurement Base Care. This
project will be led by PhD Candidate, Rachel VanEvery, who will conduct a mixed-methods study in a collaborative
partnership with the CMHA Hamilton Branch and McMaster University’s Community Research Platform.

Managing Cumulative Effects of Tourism in Gitga’at Territory

The North Coast of British Columbia is a site of increasing industrial development, whose impacts pose an increasing threat to the health and well-being of Gitga’at people and their Territory. Though there are numerous monitoring programs to assess these impacts, Gitga’at have raised concerns about certain activities, such as tourism and recreational fishing, are currently overlooked. This project will use Gitga’at knowledge to better understand how visitation has changed throughout recent history, and what impacts visitors have on the people, land, and water. These questions will be explored through interviews with Elders and key knowledge holders conducted on location at significant cultural sites, to draw on place-based memory and personal history.

Effet de l’exposition au son des bateaux cargos sur la structure de la coquille des post-larves de la moule bleue (Mytilus edulis)

Mon projet de recherche porte sur l’effet du son des bateaux cargos sur la structure de la coquille des post-larves de la moule bleue (Mytilus Edulis). Pour ce faire, nous allons mettre les larves de moules dans un bassin conçu pour l’exposition au son, appelé larvosonic afin de les exposer lors de leur croissance. Nous pourrons exposer les larves de moules à trois intensités de son différentes correspondant à des distances de passage de bateaux, ainsi qu’un contrôle (sans son). Les coquilles seront montées sur des lames de microscope dans de la résine pour analyser par spectrométrie Raman leur structure chimique et comment ces changements sont exprimés dans la coquille.

Developing Crop Consulting App

This project is to build an IOS mobile application that will allow partner’s clients to use it on their mobile device to access their farm data and receive ongoing recommendations from consultants. The project will benefit the partner organization by improving the communication between consultants and their client farmers. Currently, consultants print out their recommendations for farmers or sent it through mail. It is not easy to get timely or reliable feedback from farmers using paper and regular mail. After this project is completed, consultants can forward their recommendations to the farmer via the mobile device application directly and get farmer’s feedback as soon as the farmer confirms from their device. This will improve the quality of their service and attract more customers for them, which can increase their market share.
