In Canada, 1 in 7 men are likely to be diagnosed with prostate cancer in their lifetime. Prostate Specific Antigen (PSA) testing is currently not recommended in Canada as population based screening test. Prostate cancer, like other tumors, disperses tumor cells into circulation. If effectively isolated, molecularly analyzed and characterized, CTCs are potentially a reliable […]

THIS IS A GENERIC TEXT PUT IN PLACE AS THERE WAS NO PROJECT OVERVIEW

La recherche proposée vise à soutenir l’observation de l’environnement marin dans la région Aviqtuuq autour de Taloyoak, Nunavut, en lien avec l’initiative en cours de développement d’une aire protégée et de conservation autochtone (APCA) incluant un programme d’intendance du territoire Aviqtuuq par la population locale. À partir d’enregistrements acoustiques collectés par trois hydrophones déployés sur […]

How complex organs develop from a small set of undifferentiated cells is a fundamental question in biology. Genetic mutations that alter organs shape give us important insight to answer this question. This project aims to use CRISPR/CAS9 technology to introduce different types of genetic constructions into the model plant Arabidopsis thaliana to understand the development […]

A collaboration between health geographers from Michigan State University and ornithologists from Carleton University, this proposed research project will investigate the factors influencing avian diversity and community composition in Detroit, MI. and the potential relationship between human health and access to biodiversity and nature. The results of this research project will lead to several high-quality […]

Our knowledge translation project aims to address knowledge and system gaps and missed opportunities for preventive medicine. Hypertensive disorders of pregnancy (HDP) are associated with a higher risk of developing CVD, yet lack of patient and provider awareness and lack of system integration are barriers to providing preventative care and/or early treatment. Our project aims […]

Eye movements and visuospatial memory constantly interact to shape an efficient representation of the world. The behavioral link between eye movements and holistic scene memory has been extensively demonstrated, yet it remains elusive how visual item memory dynamically unfolds in active vision. Understanding the interplay between eye movements and memory, and identifying its neural mechanisms, […]
