Cubresa is building the BrainPET, the world’s first commercial brain-dedicated positron emission tomography (PET) insert for a magnetic resonance imager (MRI). The BrainPET will give doctors and scientists a powerful tool to visualize the human brain with near-unparalleled resolution and sensitivity, providing a clear picture of the interconnectedness of structure/function in this complex organ. This […]

Stormwater outfalls are point sources containing various pollutants from urban environments that are often discharged directly into rivers. Previous research at University of Saskatchewan showed considerable concentrations of 2-anilo-5-[(4-methylpentan-2- yl)amino]cyclohexa-2,5-diene-1,4-dione (6PPD-quinone), a tire rubber-derived compound, in Saskatoon’s stormwater. 6PPD-quinone is an emerging pollutant of concern that is highly toxic to fish. Adsorption is a promising […]

Toxoplasma gondii is a pathogen of cats that can infect a wide variety of species including humans and sheep. Although there is only one species of T. gondii, there are many strains of the parasite with varying degrees of severity resulting in different disease outcome. When a human or animal is infected, the host may […]

Remote Indigenous communities governed by Peter Ballantyne Cree Nation (PBCN) will be engaged in a multi-criteria geospatial evaluation. The focus of the internships is to research the factors that can constrain and enable renewable energy (RE) development in the communities. The geospatial assessment will be based on structured cartographic modelling and map overlays that are […]

The Refresh Wellness Platform intends to offer a novel approach to address ongoing mental health and wellness challenges worldwide.
