Cross modality image processing in cardiac and spinal images

With the advances of medical imaging, accurate diagnosis has been significantly enhanced, especially when utilizing cross-modality imaging for complicated diagnoses such as the spine and cardiovascular system. However, cross modality image processing poses a challenge due to large amount of data generated. Computer Tomography (CT) and Magnetic Resonance Imaging (MRI) images, for example, have great […]

The contributions of plasma composition to neurovascular dysfunction in Parkinson’s disease

Parkinson’s disease is mostly known for the extensive loss of dopaminergic neurons in the brain that results in motor impairments in patients living with the disease. The causes for this neuronal death are under active investigation, and recent studies suggest that disease onset/progression could originate from or be aggravated by peripheral factors. Therefore, molecules located […]

Photosynthesis, stomatal conductance, and transpiration of strawberry plants.

The spectral composition of light-emitting diodes (LEDs) reportedly results in higher crop yield and reduced thermal damage to plants. Given that the stomata response represents a link between the plant and the outside environment, exploring the relationship between photosynthesis, stomatal conductance, and transpiration is paramount. This study will investigate the photosynthetic efficiency and stomatal conductance […]

Synthesis and Application of Tritiated Activin Receptor Like Kinase 2 Radioligands for Molecular Investigations of Diffuse Intrinsic Pontine Glioma

Diffuse intrinsic pontine glioma (DIPG) is a rare childhood cancer that affects part of the brainstem. DIPG is typically diagnosed in children aged 5-10 years old and does not have any effective forms of treatment. Since there are no treatments, the average survival time for children who are diagnosed with DIPG is only 11 months. […]

Pharmacist-physiotherapist collaborative management for early knee osteoarthritis

Osteoarthritis (OA) is a slowly progressive chronic condition that is associated with aging and is characterized as joint pain. Individuals with early-stage OA usually attempt to treat their OA with pain medication therefore Alberta pharmacists can be seen as a first point of contact for these individuals to access appropriate care. Education, self-management, and exercise […]

Investigating the effect of disease-causing TRNT1 mutations on cellular stress response: a pathway to treatment.

The proposed project aims to investigate the link between tRNA maturation and mitochondrial disease using yeast as a model system. Researchers from Carleton University in Canada will collaborate with experts from Comenius University in Slovakia to develop advanced gene-tagging techniques in yeast. This collaboration will allow for the creation of new reagents, tools, and technologies […]

Genetic diversity of Aneura mirabilis and relatives

My project investigates the genetic diversity of Aneura mirabilis, a plant that lost the ability to photosynthesize, and instead depends entirely on fungal networks to meet its energy requirements. This is the sole bryophyte lineage that made this major nutritional transition. The mycoheterotrophic lifestyle is at one end of a spectrum of plant-fungal relationships that […]
