Chinook salmon are anadromous fish, with juveniles spending 1-2 years in freshwater before migrating to sea to mature for 2-5 years and returning to freshwater to spawn and die. ‘Smoltification’ is the physiological, morphological, and behavioural transition of freshwater stream-dwelling ‘parr’ to downstream migrating ‘smolts’ and, eventually, saltwater marine ‘post-smolts’. If the salmon do not […]

To assess people’s risk of contracting Lyme disease in New Brunswick we will test 700 dogs for antibodies to the bacterium that causes the disease. Lyme disease is caused by infection with the bacteria Borrelia burgdorferi, generally transmitted through a tick bite. Lyme disease is a debilitating disease and the risk of contracting it is […]

Organic compounds in water can be potentially hazardous. We will develop a green and solvent-free method for screening the organic pollutants in different water samples. Also, we will study the changes in water during the different treatment process. This research will benefit the community and provide a protection protocol.

In this project, we are evaluating the use of an alternative mode of communication between proteins to design peptides with therapeutic potentials. Proteins generally interact with one another to realize their functions. They do this through physical interactions. It has recently been discovered that some proteins interact via a non-classical manner and using small stretches […]

Lorsqu’une personne reçoit un diagnostic de diabète de type 2, elle rentre chez-elle, perdue et effrayée et se réfère aux histoires les plus négatives trouvées sur internet à propos de son diagnostic. Notre système de santé surmené laisse peu de temps aux professionnels épuisés pour informer les patients de manière optimale sur leur nouvelle réalité […]

Individuals diagnosed with either Alzheimer’s disease (AD) or Parkinson’s disease (PD) typically exhibit a distinctive profile of progressive impairments. AD primarily affects cognitive functions (e.g., dementia), whereas PD affects motor functions (e.g., tremor). However, in many cases, this symptomatic distinction is not apparent, because some AD and PD patients experience a mixture of cognitive and […]

Preliminary clinical trials harnessing the immune system of cancer patients to combat disease have shown to have impressive efficacy. Immune cells isolated from a patient are genetically altered to allow for improved detection of cancerous cells and subsequently re-introduced into the patient. Yet despite its promise, rapid and cost effective manufacturing of this therapy remains […]

Although the gold standard for supportive clinical evidence has historically been randomized controlled trials, given their rigid and constrained nature, they rarely describe the effectiveness of an intervention or drug in real-life practice. Therefore, regulators, payers, healthcare providers, and institutions are turning towards real-world data collected at the interface of the patient and the health […]

This research project involves creating a mobile and web application to improve the quality of connections between older adults in retirement homes and their families. The intern will be tasked with the creation of the mobile and web application, and therefore is expected to have experience and skills in application design and development. The intern […]
