This project investigates the resistance of Winnipeg bedbug populations to chemical insecticides and evaluates the effectiveness of locally developed Beauveria bassiana formulations, addressing critical gaps in our understanding of fungal susceptibility and informing the development of targeted, eco-friendly pest control strategies.

This project will evaluate simple methods for collecting and preparing saliva samples for concussion biomarker research. The work will compare different collection approaches to determine which provides more consistent results. All experiments will use artificial saliva, allowing the methods to be tested in a controlled laboratory setting without using human samples. The results will help […]

Emergency departments (EDs) all over Canada are facing unparalleled challenges. In a time of increasing patient volume and complexity, EDs have also faced extreme staff shortages and access block within many other parts of the system. Delivery of emergency care in our health system is complex. The IWK ED has a long history of innovation […]

This project aims to investigate whether the presence of Trichomonas vaginalis, the etiological agent responsible for the most common non-viral sexually transmitted infection worldwide, trichomoniasis, is able to impact the production of small vesicles by cervical cells. In addition, this project also proposes to investigate whether these small vesicles could result in the transformation of […]

As a medical device manufacturer, Circle Cardiovascular Imaging Inc. (Circle) operates within a regulated industry and must maintain a robust Quality Management System (QMS) to support global market access and lifecycle compliance. As the organization expands and maintains its regulatory footprint across multiple jurisdictions, the volume and complexity of jurisdiction-specific regulatory compliance requires in-depth intelligence, […]

The Biodiversity Mapping Project (BMaP) aims to generate refined mapping tools to address key data gaps and improve how lands and habitats are planned for, managed, and protected in the eastern Georgian Bay region. Indigenous communities, municipalities, conservation organizations, and land managers currently rely on land-cover and habitat maps that are outdated or too general […]

This project explores how chemical modifications to DNA and histone proteins influence the 3D structure of the genome during early embryonic development. Working at RIKEN in Japan, Iqra Wardak will learn molecular biology and computational genomics techniques to study how epigenetic marks regulate gene activity and cell identity. The project combines experimental training with analysis […]

This project at the Centre for Addiction and Mental Health addresses a defined evidence gap in women’s brain health: despite women comprising roughly two-thirds of Alzheimer’s disease cases, there is limited scalable, person-centred data on how specific menopause symptom patterns and menopausal hormone therapy (MHT) exposures relate to cognitive outcomes. In partnership with two major […]

The RBC Patient and Family Learning Space (PFLS) at CAMH provides free mental health, substance use, and recovery information to patients, families, caregivers, and the public. PFLS offers workshops, webinars, easy-to-understand health information, and help with navigating the mental health system. It operates both as a physical space and an online learning hub, working with […]
