Lululemon develops and markets athletic apparel including women’s bras. Some women experience difficulty finding the appropriate bra to achieve adequate support without discomfort [1]. Lululemon is experienced in tissue biomechanics models of the breast including measurement of tissue movement, forces and accelerations in an effort to better understand the complex issues around bra performance. Nevertheless, […]

Climate change is creating urgent challenges for livestock farming, as rising temperatures and more frequent heat waves reduce animal health, productivity, and welfare. Young calves are particularly vulnerable because their immune and temperature regulation systems are not fully developed, and their gut microbiome—the community of bacteria, archaea, and viruses that support digestion and health—is still […]

Infectious diseases remain one of the largest killers of the human population and disproportionately so in developing countries. Assays for the rapid and comprehensive identification of causative strains of the infectious disease agents in tuberculosis and leptospirosis is currently lacking. These infections represent over 20 million cases annually. Existing diagnostic protocols involve lengthy and resource-intensive […]

Many people with physical disabilities depend on forearm crutches to help them walk. Although forearm crutches are helpful, many people experience overuse injuries as a result of using the forearm crutch. Injuries to the wrists, elbows and shoulders are commonly experienced with long-term use of the forearm crutch. The research project will examine differences between […]

Radiant Fluidics is a Canadian startup working to transform how new cancer therapies are developed by creating automation tools for radiopharmaceutical research. Radiopharmaceuticals are special drugs that combine radioactive materials with targeting compounds to diagnose or treat cancer at the cellular level. However, developing these drugs is currently slow, expensive, and sometimes unsafe due to […]

Human activities are modifying the planet in many ways, via climate change, land use change, and environmental contamination. This is accelerating species extinction across the tree of life. Safeguarding biodiversity requires an accurate understanding of how nature is organized—species interact with each other in complex networks, such as when a predator consumes a prey, or […]

Most of what we know about how people attend to the world comes from lab studies where participants sit still and look at flat images on a screen. But in everyday life, we move our heads and bodies freely to explore our surroundings. With new Virtual Reality (VR) technology that includes eye and head tracking, […]

This project aims to study the unique behaviour of camel milk proteins, especially how they function at the air-water interface to create and stabilise foams, which are important in foods like lattes, whipped desserts, and dairy-based drinks. Unlike cow’s milk, camel milk lacks certain proteins and contains others in much higher amounts, which may give […]

Dementia affects over 55 million people globally, with a new case diagnosed every three seconds 1, contributing to annual healthcare costs exceeding $1.3 trillion, including a projected $16.6 billion in Canada by 2031 2. Up to 40% of dementia cases are linked to modifiable lifestyle factors such as sleep and physical activity 3. However, health-conscious […]

Luma is an augmented reality (AR) surgical navigation platform designed to help surgeons see important blood vessels and anatomy directly on a patient during surgery. Right now, surgeons often have to rely on memory or markings to make decisions, which can lead to longer, riskier operations. Our project will explore who buys new surgical tools […]
