Behavioural disorders are linked to circadian rhythm disruption. Circadian rhythms are behavioural responses to daily environmental changes, like light/dark cycles. Such behavioural responses are regulated by circadian clocks, which are biochemical time keeping machines that control the daily expression of several hundred genes. There is a circadian clock hypothesis of behavioural disorders that offers a […]

The Medventions Atlantic program based on the proven model from Sunnybrook Health Sciences Centre enables high-performing students and recent graduates from diverse academic backgrounds to engage directly with frontline clinical and innovation challenges. The interns are embedded within clinical environments to identify unmet needs, apply early-stage innovation thinking, and co-develop solutions with clinicians, patients, and […]

This project will engage Veterans, Families and service organisations across Canada to co-design a continuum of care that supports the mental health and substance use health of Veterans and Families. A series of 3-4 engagement sessions will be held with approximately 50 Veterans and families, as well as a 2-3 workshops series with approximately 30 […]

Haskap is an emerging berry crop in North America known for its unique flavour and high nutritional value. Commercial haskap cultivars have received considerable attention from researchers, however, Canada’s native wild haskap populations remain largely unstudied. This project aims to comprehensively analyze the metabolomic profiles of 150 wild Canadian haskap accessions maintained by the Fruit […]

La cytométrie en flux est une méthode essentielle pour diagnostiquer les cancers du sang tels que les leucémies, les lymphomes et le myélome multiple. Elle permet d’identifier les types de cellules impliquées grâce à des marqueurs exprimés à leur surface. Actuellement, la préparation des échantillons est souvent réalisée manuellement, ce qui peut entraîner des erreurs […]

Transcranial magnetic stimulation (TMS) is a safe form of non-invasive brain stimulation that treats different brain conditions. Theta burst stimulation (TBS) is a TMS protocol that alters the underlying neural circuitry and is an FDA and Health Canada approved treatment for Major Depressive Disorder. How cTBS changes brain function remains unknown; however, understanding this mechanism […]

Ovarian cancer is the deadliest type of cancer affecting the female reproductive system. While surgery and chemotherapy are commonly used to treat it, many patients experience a recurrence of the disease that no longer responds to treatment. Immunotherapy—a method that helps the body’s immune system fight cancer—has worked well in other cancers but not in […]

The Ford Motor Company is bringing 800 jobs into the Oakville Assembly Plant. These jobs will be concerned with sequencing parts for the new Material Sequencing Centre. To ensure that workers remain healthy, and their productivity and quality output is up to Ford’s high standards, Ford (through this fellowship) wants to establish clear ergonomic guidelines […]

The Canadian Lobster Research Network (CLRN) is a multi-stakeholder and multi-disciplinary research platform led by fishing associations throughout eastern Canada with the principal goal of supporting sustainable and profitable lobster fisheries in the face of rapid climate and ecosystem changes. The CLRN has its origins in the Lobster Node, an industry-driven collaborative research node under […]

This international project brings together top neuroscience teams from McGill University (Canada) and Aix-Marseille University (France) to develop the next generation of realistic brain models. The goal is to improve how computer simulations represent the timing of signals traveling through the brain, which depends on factors like axon length, thickness, and myelination. Current models often […]

Bioinformatics is fundamental to modern medicine, driving breakthroughs in cancer, pandemics, and disease understanding, however, while demand for this field continues to grow, its workforce still does not reflect the people it serves. Fewer than 20% of bioinformaticians are women, and less than 5.7% are Black [1]. This homogeneity reflects and perpetuates systemic biases across […]
