This project explores how chemical modifications to DNA and histone proteins influence the 3D structure of the genome during early embryonic development. Working at RIKEN in Japan, Iqra Wardak will learn molecular biology and computational genomics techniques to study how epigenetic marks regulate gene activity and cell identity. The project combines experimental training with analysis […]

This project at the Centre for Addiction and Mental Health addresses a defined evidence gap in women’s brain health: despite women comprising roughly two-thirds of Alzheimer’s disease cases, there is limited scalable, person-centred data on how specific menopause symptom patterns and menopausal hormone therapy (MHT) exposures relate to cognitive outcomes. In partnership with two major […]

The RBC Patient and Family Learning Space (PFLS) at CAMH provides free mental health, substance use, and recovery information to patients, families, caregivers, and the public. PFLS offers workshops, webinars, easy-to-understand health information, and help with navigating the mental health system. It operates both as a physical space and an online learning hub, working with […]

The project aims to improve the digital denture production workflow at Westmount Dental Lab. The intern will analyze current processes, identify inefficiencies, and develop standardized procedures to improve quality.

The internship will be a single internship for July Health – a digital health startup on a mission to fill the gap in diagnosis and care for women’s chronic hormone conditions. July Health delivers telemedicine services across Canada with a medical team that includes registered dietitian, social workers, and nurse practitioners. As a growing virtual […]

This 4 month project will establish Sensible Vascular’s first formalized, quality-system-aligned benchtop performance evaluation framework for its thrombectomy catheter and stent retriever system. The project will focus on developing, validating, and documenting five foundational test methods—trackability, tensile strength, torquability, device–device interaction, and reliability—guided by FDA recommendations, ISO 13485 design control principles, relevant literature, and industry […]

This project will support SixthSense Labs, a Canadian medtech startup, in bringing its radar-based gait speed tool from a proven prototype to real-world use across Canada. The tool can measure gait speed in under six seconds without wearables or cameras and gives an immediate report, which could help identify mobility decline and fall risk earlier […]

ARISE is an augmented reality, AI-enabled therapy platform developed by Neuro-Mod to improve chronic neck pain care through engaging, mechanism-informed exercises delivered via lightweight AR glasses and a smartphone. This project combines two goals: (1) clinical pilot evaluation and product refinement, and (2) market launch preparation. During the internship, ARISE will be implemented across up […]

Ce projet de recherche utilise un modèle de souris pour mieux comprendre comment le foie gère les lipides et pourquoi les femmes et les hommes réagissent différemment face à l’accumulation de gras et aux maladies métaboliques. En modifiant une enzyme clé impliquée dans la fabrication des lipides au niveau du foie et en exposant les […]

Le cancer de l’endomètre est l’un des plus fréquents affectant les organes reproducteurs féminins et touche plus de 420 000 femmes chaque année dans le monde. Afin de mieux comprendre le développement et la progression du cancer de l’endomètre, la matrice extra-cellulaire (MEC) est de plus en plus étudiée. Composée de plus de 1000 protéines […]

This project will study the prevalence and factors leading to preventable lower-limb amputations in the Bahamas, and how health systems can better protect patients at risk. The intern will work with clinicians and researchers at Princess Margaret Hospital in Nassau to review hospital records from the past decade and identify how often amputations occur, which […]

Les vieilles forêts jouent un rôle clé dans le maintien de la biodiversité et des fonctions écologiques, mais leur conservation dans les forêts aménagées du Québec demeure un défi, malgré l’adoption de l’aménagement forestier écosystémique. Les outils actuels reposent surtout sur des seuils d’âge et des proportions de vieilles forêts, sans intégrer suffisamment les dimensions […]
