Sub-project 1 examines whether whey protein supplementation following a training session enhances exercise performance and affects post-exercise muscle damage […]

Lab2Market is a program designed to help graduate students with the innovation and entrepreneurial skills required to develop their research projects into start-ups. This project aims to develop a minimum viable product and develop a business/product roadmap for a single camera markerless motion capture system designed to accurately track human movement’s during a variety of […]

Cell culture is a critical tool for drug discover and cancer research, allowing scientists to study cells in a controlled environment before testing in animals and humans. However, a major flaw in traditional cell culture is that oxygen levels do not accurately replicate those found in the body. Cells in culture are typically exposed to […]

As a response to the rapidly increased crises of climate change and biodiversity loss, this research aims to conduct a holistic evaluation of nature’s contributions to life (NCL) within the Niagara Escarpment Biosphere (NEB). By recognizing the limitations and narrow scope of ecosystem services assessments, this research proposes using a Two-Eyed seeing perspective to comprehensively […]

The proposed research project will review data from CNIB’s survey of attitudes and beliefs of staff who volunteer in the Vision Mates program.

Grape growers are increasingly interested in finding strategies to enhance vineyard’s long-term productivity while improving the overall ecosystem health. The market for organic wine is also an incentive that encourages some growers to adopt these practices. Using a landscape approach, we will examine how increased native biodiversity in the vineyards and perimeters can contribute to […]

Physical activity and dairy intake during growth and development are each known to improve peak bone mass. Peak bone mass, the maximum amount of bone a person will have in their lifetime, is typically reached in the early 20’s in females and late 20’s in males. However, evidence suggests that young people do not consume […]
