The dye and pigment industry is identified as one of the biggest pollutive and toxic industries. For instance, the textile dye industry is the second largest water polluter, producing 20% of the world’s wastewater using 800,000 tones of synthetic dyes annually. Many of the dyes and chemicals used have been highlighted as causing irretrievable damage […]

CT angiograms (CTA) are used to detect vessel occlusions in the brain in stroke patients and are a diagnostic criteria of acute stroke. Current standards of care require that an additional CT perfusion scan to be taken in order to accurately locate large and medium-vessel occlusions, allowing for the administering of endovascular therapy (EVT) to […]

The proposed research project will assess the efficacy and effectiveness of a generalized Sports Vision Training (SVT) program on varsity athletes through comparing the effects of a 10-week program to a 5-week program. The SVT program consists of training methods aimed at improving visual perception and efficiency of visual processing. Varsity athletes of hockey, basketball, […]

La maladie corticale du hêtre les arbres matures en diminuant graduellement leur vigueur. La mort de ces arbres favorise un afflux de lumière qui contribue à accentuer l’envahissement par les gaules de hêtre (EGH). Cet envahissement est problématique puisque le hêtre n’est pas une essence prisée par l’industrie et il interfère avec la régénération d’autres […]

Triumvira, a Canadian-US post series A biotech company, is working on development of new targeted cancer therapies. Our core technology is focused on the genetic engineering of immune cells isolated from patients. This process then enables these engineered immune cells to recognise cancer cells that otherwise are invisible to the immune system. These therapies are […]

Soil moisture is a crucial land-based parameter that governs the energy and mass equilibrium in land-atmosphere interactions. Unfortunately, the conventional measurement methods do not facilitate the effortless monitoring of soil moisture’s spatial and temporal variability at a regional scale. Satellite remote sensing data presents a viable solution to address the limitations and propose an alternative […]

The purpose of the proposed project is to investigate the impact of violence on HIV care access. Women living with HIV experience extremely high rates of violence; however, little research has explored how violence impacts access to HIV care. Data will be drawn from the Sexual Health and HIV/AIDS: Longitudinal Women’s Needs Assessment Project (SHAWNA: […]

More than 100,000 Canadians are affected by Parkinson’s disease which affects the brain. It can disrupt the daily lives of patients as they find it challenging to walk, talk and express themselves. Current therapies to treat Parkinson’s disease provide symptomatic relief and are not effective. A protein called alpha synuclein is known to promote brain […]

This research project aims to make the Force-Velocity and Power-Velocity Sprinting Profiles more accessible to all athletes. These profiles measure an athlete’s explosive force and speed abilities and can help coaches and medical professionals develop a training program that is tailored to an athlete’s needs. Currently, only elite athletes have access to this tool, but […]

Bone cancers are very hard to treat because of poor blood flow in the bones and drugs to treat bone cancers need to be given at high doses and are often limited by side effects. This project will develop new “prodrugs” designed to target and attach to bones and release a potent anti-cancer drug, regorafenib, […]
