ViroCarb has identified a new class of HIV inhibitors against a new therapeutic target on the HIV envelopeprotein gp120, present in all HIV, including drug resistant strains. The objective of this internship is to conduct screening studies of libraries, designed based on this new chemical class for optimal efficacy and drug-like properties, using methods previously […]

Canada is having a youth unemployment crisis that has only worsened post-COVID. At the same time, an untapped pool of young, diverse talent exists to fill entry-level positions. However, difficulties arise when trying to match youth with employers. In particular, youth have indicated that job postings can be unfamiliar or intimidating and ask for unrealistic […]

This project examines multidisciplinary methodologies in adult Equity, Diversity, and Inclusion (EDI) education, particularly focusing on strategies involving dialogic processes. Dialogic modes in learning broadly refer to activities of collaborative meaning-making through shared expression and communication rather than monologic processes, whereby fixed meaning is transferred through a one-way approach. As the demand for more conscientious […]

In the Arctic, climate change is leading to declines in seasonal sea-ice cover. Polar bears are increasingly at-risk from sea-ice loss because they use the ice as a platform to hunt seals, their preferred food source. When the ice retreats seasonally, bears rely on their stored energy reserves as fuel, but climate-driven changes in sea-ice […]

Canada has been glaciated many times in the last 2.5 million years and large ice sheets many kilometres thick have profoundly affected Canadian landscapes by eroding rocks and moving sediment. Using data from modern ice sheets in Antarctica and Greenland, glacial geologists have very recently recognized the imprint of fast flowing corridors of ice with […]

Social reproductive suppression is when the reproduction of healthy, adult animals in a population is inhibited by the presence of a socially dominant individual. This is known to happen some group-living species, where only the dominant pair will reproduce, and the other group members will assist in raising their young. There is evidence that social […]

Persons with disabilities encounter many barriers to workplace inclusion. Prior research on strategies to mitigate such barriers has primarily been focused on recruitment and access to entry-level positions, with limited consideration given to career success. However, mentorship has been identified as an important element of career success for persons with disabilities—even though we know little […]

Amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS) is a devastating disease that affects many parts of patients’ lives, such as the abilities to think, move, and speak. Speech problems in ALS can have a substantial effect on patients’ quality of life. They are also related to faster disease progression and shorter survival time. It may be possible to […]
