Cancer is the leading cause of death in Canada. Cancer patients suffer from the side effects (e.g., hair loss) of the chemotherapeutics, as they lack selectivity, killing both cancerous and non-cancerous cells. Thus, there is a need for more selective drugs. Cancer cells need sugar for fast growth, having high levels of glucose transporters to […]

Individuals (donors) wishing to donate funds to non-profit and/or charitable organizations want to know how the organizations operate and how effectively their donations are used. Dexterity has developed an online service called Place2Give which aims to answer those questions. The research project aims to employ social network analysis and data mining to enhance the data […]

THIS IS A GENERIC TEXT PUT IN PLACE AS THERE WAS NO PROJECT OVERVIEW

Le programme Mitacs Globalink est pour moi une remarquable opportunité de travailler avec un chercheur spécialiste dans de nombreux domaines des mathématiques. En effet, dans le travail que je mène actuellement en thèse, j’ai été conduit à arpenter diverses spécialités des mathématiques. Pour obtenir des résultats plus généraux que ceux que je suis en train […]

There is a critical need to develop new therapeutics for the treatment of chronic pain. In this partnership between Zymedyne Therapeutics and the Derksen Research lab at the University of Calgary, we will work to develop lead hit compounds to leads that can be put forward as clinical candidates. As many existing pain therapeutics, such […]

Street2School is a youth-led initiative that addresses the growing issue of educational inequity in Nigeria, particularly among out-of-school children in underserved communities like Zamani. With over 10.5 million children currently out of school in Nigeria, according to UNICEF, our mission is to provide these children with access to quality education, breaking the cycle of poverty […]

This project is focused on the design and optimization of a helmet, the Regulated Multi-stage Air-pressurized Chambers Helmet (R-MACH), that incorporates a unique idea aimed at effectively mitigating rotational forces without compromising on weight or performance at high impact velocities. Our novel design leverages interconnected air-pressurized chambers and elastic materials, instead of Expanded Polystyrene (EPS) […]

This work focuses on solar-driven hydrogen production and the valorization of glycerol into value-added chemicals using advanced photocatalysis techniques. By combining renewable energy with glycerol waste management, this research addresses two critical challenges: reducing greenhouse gas emissions through clean hydrogen production and creating a sustainable, circular economy by converting biodiesel byproducts into useful chemicals. There […]

Brain aneurysms are blisters on brain arteries caused by high blood pressure and smoking. Every 18 minutes, a brain aneurysm ruptures, leading to 1,370 deaths a day worldwide. This project seeks to develop an innovative brain implantable device to treat brain aneurysms through prototyping, lab validation, and customer discovery and feedback. The partner organization supports […]

The goal of the proposed project is to develop a Digital Twin of a city to enhance urban planning and emergency management. University of Calgary faculty members and students will work with the City of Calgary on developing a Digital Twin of the City of Calgary as well as an application prototype of this twin […]
