SCN-Mitacs Industry-based Internship – Mesintel Therapeutics

The internship project involves working with mesenchymal stromal cells (MSCs), which play a key role in regenerative medicine due to their translational potential. I will be conducting experiments to find new ways to regulate and modify the functions of these cells, and analyzing high-throughput screening data to find novel therapeutic targets. Along the way, I […]

Telescope Therapeutics, Maria Del Toro: “Exploring iPSC-Derived Organoids: Leveraging Patient-Derived Models and Biosensor Technologies for Phenotypic Clustering and Signaling Analysis in Cardiovascular Disease”

Cardiovascular disease remains a leading cause of death in Canada and is a progressive disease characterized by heart dilatation and impaired heart function that can ultimately lead to heart failure, with a rising incidence and a 5-year survival rate of only 50%. Advanced cases of heart failure caused by dilated cardiomyopathy (DCM) are referred for […]

Understanding habitat and social factors as drivers of sexual segregation in Bighorn Sheep (Ovis canadensis)

This project plans to unravel the relation between habitat characteristics and social dynamics that influence sexual segregation in Rocky Mountain bighorn sheep (Ovis canadensis). We will evaluate environmental and behavioural factors to better understand habitat preferences and social interactions that drive observed seasonal social and habitat segregation in bighorn sheep. The results of this study […]

Comprehensive evaluation of data-driven mode decomposition techniques for the analysis of separating and reattaching flows

This research project will systematically evaluate data-driven mode decomposition techniques (POD, Spectral POD (SPOD), finite impulse response SPOD (FIR-SPOD) and a machine-learning (ML) based nonlinear method) for separating and reattaching flows using existing experimental and numerical databases of a laminar boundary layer approaching an FFS. There will provide three significant results: (1) critical insight as […]

Beyond Elections: what can Brazil tell us about democracy?

Representation and accountability are essential for the proper functioning of democracy. Through a close examination of Brazil since the 1990’s, this project investigates the conditions that make a country move toward stronger representation and accountability. Like many Latin American countries, Brazil was neither an institutionalized nor a representative democracy in the 1990s. Although the president […]
