A Patient-Centered and Visually Attractive Toolkit Adapted to Children and Youth to Reduce Inhaler Impact on Carbon Footprint in Ambulatory and Outpatient Settings 1) Introduction/Background: Carbon footprint (expressed in carbon dioxide equivalent, CO2e) is the preferred method to measure our impact on climate change. Healthcare represents 4.6% of total Canadian greenhouse gases emissions, and in […]

This project will integrate an advanced analytical technique (i.e., Raman spectroscopy) and machine learning to help the partner organization monitor key cell growth parameters, streamline experimental design, accelerate culture media optimization, and ensure the consistency of media and product quality. These advanced analytical tools and workflows will allow the partner organization to improve the efficiency […]

La propagation d’espèces exotiques envahissantes constitue une cause principale de la perte de la biodiversité et les extinctions causées par ces dernières sont dix fois plus importantes que celles causées par les espèces indigènes à l’échelle planétaire. La présence du complexe de la limace exotique européenne, Arion subfuscus s.l., a été confirmé dans les écosystèmes […]

Globally, there have been challenges in pulling together data, analyses, epidemiological insights, and unusual infection disease trends into comprehensive and regular reporting, that support pharmaceutical and life sciences organizations with timely intelligence for decision making. BlueDot has the knowledge and expertise to bring together these insights in a highly visual, easily understandable regular reporting format, […]

The Hospital for Sick Children (SickKids) is the largest paediatric hospital in Canada, and partners both locally and globally to improve the health of children through the integration of care, education, community advocacy, and patient/family partnerships. As a cornerstone of the work of the Division of Infectious Diseases, immunization is one of the most important […]

The research team at the Centre for Research in Integrated Care (CRIC), at the University of New Brunswick, will be partnering with the research team at New Brunswick Social Pediatrics (NBSP). The main objective of this project is to inform the development and implementation of a patient navigation program in New Brunswick for youth/young adults […]

(1) CAMH is a research hospital that aims to improve the provision of clinical care to clients with psychiatric conditions through research. Through analyses of large-scale multi-modal data and clinical trials with biological assessments, the Kimel TIGR lab seeks to identify biological bases of psychiatric conditions that can be targeted using existing and novel treatments, […]

Bumble bees are essential pollinators, but their populations are declining due to habitat loss, climate change, and pathogens like Crithidia and Vairiomorpha. These pathogens spread through feces on flowers and within colonies, reducing bee fitness and survival. While pathogen levels are well-documented in mainland southern Ontario, little is known about their prevalence on Pelee Island, […]

Hydrogen (H2) offers a strategic opportunity for Canada’s energy transition and more broadly is viewed as an essential part of the global solution to reducing carbon emissions and addressing climate change. Industry, governments and research agencies at regional and national scales are looking at the feasibility of H2 hubs that incorporate local logistics for H2 […]

Over six million people living in Canada have arthritis, making it one of the most common chronic conditions. The condition significantly impacts activities of daily living, workplace participation, and it is the leading cause of disability. Living with arthritis leads to pain and physical impairments and people with arthritis can self-identify as living with a […]

Commercial hazelnuts are a woody perennial crop that requires significant upfront investment. They are typically grown in a monocropped orchard, with bare soil or a closely-cropped grassy orchard floor. Hazelnuts are usually harvested from the ground, meaning that the presence of intercrops is a hindrance for harvest. This results in lower in-field diversity, wasted production […]
