Major depressive disorder (MDD) affects 20% of the population, with females twice as likely to develop it. Cognitive symptoms like negative cognitive bias (NCB) are resistant to treatment and understudied. Pilot data suggest sex differences in hippocampal activation and functional connectivity between brain regions in NCB. This is significant, as altered brain connectivity affects therapeutic […]

Viruses impact almost every aspect of human life, such as in carbon availability oceans impacting climate, food security in agriculture, and importantly in health. Humans are colonized by both benign and disease-causing viruses. Retroviruses, such as Human Immunodeficiency Virus (HIV), are a class of viruses that use reverse transcriptase (RT) to convert RNA-based genomes to […]

SmartSimple is experiencing tremendous growth and need to ensure our business operations can keep up with the demands on the organization. Given our multi-location operations and the collaborative nature of our workforce, we need to implement well-organized and strong operation processes to sustain the long term growth of the organization. During the internship, we will […]

The proposed research project focuses on investigating the growing problem of motor vehicle noise in urban environments, particularly how it affects residents’ physical and mental health, overall well-being, and willingness to live in densely populated areas. Through a combination of analysis methods involving interviews and fieldwork observations, the project will explore how residents experience and […]

Remotely monitoring the heart is crucial for reducing the hospital readmission rate of heart failure (HF) patients. However, for aging populations with physical and cognitive limitations, existing monitoring techniques such as self-management or CardioMEMS remain demanding or invasive. There is a growing need for easy-to-use and non-invasive remote monitoring. Ballistocardiograph (BCG) measures the mechanical vibration […]

The project relates to the fabrication of polymeric devices capable of mimicking that of live human tissue under x-ray computed tomographic (CT) imaging. These devices must be fabricated in such a way that specific material properties are controlled to thereby precisely mimic the desired tissue. The work following this will benefit the partner organization as […]

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

When people become critically ill, such as during severe infection, their lungs often fail – this is termed “Acute Respiratory Distress Syndrome” (ARDS). ARDS is common, and often fatal. There is no drug therapy for ARDS and new therapies are urgently required. Mesenchymal Stem Cells (MSCs) from bone marrow offer significant hope for ARDS, and […]

Project explores two key aspects of civilian involvement in national security: the evolution of Ukraine’s policies on civilian firearm ownership and the development of “Territorial Defence” institutions in Ukraine and similar “home guard” entities in Central and Eastern Europe, as well as the Nordic/Baltic region. The goal is to understand how these elements contribute to […]

This project aims to develop a smart textile-based solution for early detection and management of sleep apnea, a condition that significantly impacts health, especially in those with chronic illnesses like heart failure. Traditional diagnostic methods are often inconvenient, uncomfortable, and expensive. To address these challenges, the project focuses on creating a comfortable, non-invasive, and cost-effective […]

Diffuse intrinsic pontine glioma (DIPG) is a rare childhood cancer that affects part of the brainstem. DIPG is typically diagnosed in children aged 5-10 years old and does not have any effective forms of treatment. Since there are no treatments, the average survival time for children who are diagnosed with DIPG is only 11 months. […]
